[Monitor] SK reaps more profit than Samsung in pandemic
By Korea HeraldPublished : Aug. 18, 2020 - 11:00
SK Group reaped the largest net profit in the first half of this year amid the COVID-19 pandemic, beating Samsung Group on equity gains from its affiliates, data from Yonhap Infomax showed Sunday.
The consolidated net profit of SK rose 32 percent to 6.19 trillion won ($5.2 billion) during the first six months compared to a year ago, driven by strong performances of its key affiliates such as SK hynix, SK Telecom and SK Innovation.
Samsung came second with its net profit declining 30 percent from a year ago due mainly to slower sales in the mobile businesses.
