Samsung revealed overnight it is in line to make record annual profits.<\/p>\n

But quarterly profits missed expectations as staff bonuses and a strong currency took some gloss off a buoyant chip market.<\/p>\n

The South Korean electronics giant said fourth-quarter operating profit would be 15.1 trillion (\u00a310.4bn) won, a jump of 64 per cent, but below consensus expectations of 15.9 trillion won. Sales of 66 trillion won were also narrowly behind analyst forecasts.<\/p>\n

Full-year profits will be 53.6 trillion won, compared with 29.2 trillion won in 2016, Samsung<\/a> said.<\/p>\n

A record annual return caps a quick turnaround for Samsung, which endured a tumultuous second half to 2016 after the embarrassing withdrawal of its Galaxy Note 7 handsets. The firm took the mobiles off the market over fears they were self-combusting<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But investors focused on the fact Samsung missed expectations, with shares sliding two per cent in South Korean trading.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe currency effect and bonuses appear to be the main reason for missing market forecasts but smartphone shipments are also likely to be lower than expected,\u201d Song Myung-sup, an analyst at HI Investments & Securities told Reuters.<\/p>\n

\u201cConsidering Apple<\/a> and Chinese firms\u2019 sales weren\u2019t stellar either, overall demand appears to have been sluggish.\u201d<\/p>\n

The strength of the won \u2013 which hit a three-year high yesterday \u2013 and bonuses dented profits by about 400 billion won, analysts said.<\/p>\n
