Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. announced on Friday that its board
\nof directors had approved shareholder returns for 2026 totaling
\nbetween 90 trillion won and 110 trillion won, equivalent to
\napproximately $65 billion\u2013$79.5 billion. The company described the
\nplanned returns as the largest ever announced by a South Korean
\ncompany.<\/p>\n
The package includes around 30 trillion won, or about $21.7
\nbillion, in cash dividends for the third quarter. The remaining
\namount will be determined by the board at a meeting scheduled for
\nJanuary 2027.<\/p>\n
Samsung said the record-breaking shareholder returns are
\nintended to ensure that the company\u2019s growth provides tangible
\nbenefits to investors. The strategy is designed to create a
\npositive cycle in which stronger business performance leads to
\ngreater shareholder value and, in turn, supports long-term
\nconfidence in the company.<\/p>\n
The board also approved a 15 trillion won ($10.8 billion) share
\nbuyback program to support employee compensation. Share buybacks
\ncan reduce the number of shares in circulation, potentially
\nincreasing the value of the remaining shares.<\/p>\n
The announcement highlights Samsung\u2019s strong financial position
\nand its growing focus on returning cash to investors. It also comes
\nas the company continues to invest heavily in semiconductors,
\nartificial intelligence and advanced manufacturing
\ntechnologies.<\/p>\n
Samsung is one of the world\u2019s largest semiconductor
\nmanufacturers, meaning its financial decisions can have an impact
\nfar beyond South Korea. The company\u2019s investments and spending
\nplans are closely watched by global technology and chip markets,
\nparticularly as demand for AI-related hardware continues to
\ngrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"by Alimat Aliyeva Samsung Electronics Co.
