As if that isn’t enough to invest in this company, the firm has also released dizzying financial statements. The return on equity is among the highest in the sector. I can’t deny the advancement that Google is openly making, and my optimism about revolutionary products has me on the verge of potentially picking up shares of this stock sometime this month.
Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. (KRX:005930) has shown that instead of inventing new products, it is able to take technology, tweak it, and market the heck out of it. This company knows sales better than anything, and recent moves to pre-release Jay-Z’s next album only on a Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. (KRX:005930) app is genius. Furthermore, the firm looks to have tapped the developing world and is able to price its products for that crowd. According to the Hindustan Times, Samsung is subsidizing its price to attempt to build market share in Brazil. Cuts are estimated to be around 30%, the report stated.
Profiting from the developing world would be a huge boost to a stock that is showing signs of slowing down. With a PE ratio of 8.2, investors have a low growth expectation for the firm, as the industry average is 28.3. Also, the firm is losing market share by not being able to grow, stated RBC Direct Investing. However, look for the recent release of the Galaxy S4 Active to change that. The device is advertised as being shockproof and waterproof.
Breaking it all down
Innovation is the name of the game with tech titans, and a few years of a drought in good ideas at a company such as Apple can begin to erode confidence. Stellar breakthroughs can impress the masses and send them flocking to purchase a stake in the company’s growth. However, releasing a product as innovative as the smartphone, tablet and Mac isn’t as easy as pushing a button. There is no app for that, so those already invested in these firms should hold tight until Apple, or another one of these titans, changes the world once again. Those who aren’t invested in these companies can use this period of stagnant growth to purchase shares, before they experience a hike following another breakthrough.
