Samsung Electronics, the No. 1 stock in the KOSPI, with a market capitalization of over 400 trillion won.
It is a stock representing Korea with 5.6 million minority shareholders alone.
In the first quarter of this year, Samsung Electronics posted 77 trillion won in sales and 14.1 trillion won in operating profit, breaking new records.
Compared to the first quarter of last year, sales increased by 17.76% and operating profit by 50.32%.
The record-breaking performance was achieved despite internal and external adverse factors such as the prolonged Corona 19, the increase in the price of raw materials due to the Ukraine crisis, and the global supply chain crisis.
Samsung Electronics posted 73.9 trillion won in sales in the third quarter of last year, surpassing the 70 trillion won in quarterly sales for the first time, and 76.5 trillion won in the fourth quarter.
However, in spite of such good news, Samsung Electronics’ stock price closed at 68,000 won, down 500 won from the previous day, making minority shareholders anxious.
The share price of Samsung Electronics, which barely maintained the 70,000 won level last month, fell to 69,900 won on March 30th, and now the 68,000 won level is threatened.

However, securities analysts are proposing a positive outlook for Samsung Electronics’ stock price at the end of this year, suggesting around 100,000 won.
Securities analysts predicted that Samsung Electronics will record sales of 318.7 trillion won and operating profit of 63.9 trillion won this year, the highest ever.
