Samsung blames weak chip market for lower earnings forecast

"

Samsung's reduced forecast is just the latest sign that mobile phone makers are feeling the heat of a roiled global economy.

While I think that this statement is true too, the major
drag down for revs. and earnings will be memory. We will
see this in the Q1 quarter result, which will appear in a
few weeks. DRAM will collaps once more and NAND too. This
segment alone will do nothing good for Revs. and 10% growth
will be a strong target.
The good thing for Samsung these days is, that LCDs seem to
rise again in price, where Samsung earns good money. And in
handsets they gain share, probably from Motorola which looks
terrible. Its a bit frustrating to see Motorola struggling
so much ...
The year is long and everything could happen, but I wouldn't
be surprised of Samsung has to revise its new target down
again.

edit:
Look here at page 2 and 3
samsung.com

QoQ sales in Q4 only 2% down -> but op. income -53%.
They will post a small loss in Q1 or near zero numbers.
