Samsung's market cap is slowly eroding. While the company is the dominant seller of mobile phones and cheap feature phones across the globe, Samsung's Q4 2013 profit estimate has been lowered. According to analyst Hyunwoo Doh of Barrons, Jefferies & Co. profit expectations were lowered "to reflect higher bonus payouts, adjustments to the company's manufacturing of display panels, and the decline of the U.S. dollar against the Korean Won.

　　According to the analyst, Samsung's consumer electronics division is performing admirably. Whereas, the company's mobile division isn't doing as well. Doh estimates a "decrease in earnings, due to slower high-end smartphone sales and inventory destocking."

　　Except for a slightly bumpy Q1 2014, Samsung is sure to recover quickly after the introduction of the much anticipated Galaxy S5 flagship.
