110 trillion won “red envelopes” are ready to be sent! Samsung Electronics' shareholder return plan unveiled after the market on Friday

The Zhitong Finance App learned that, according to people familiar with the matter, Samsung Electronics plans to announce a new shareholder return plan on Friday, with a total scale of up to 110 trillion won (about 79 billion US dollars).

The person familiar with the matter said that Samsung's board of directors will hold a meeting at around 4 p.m. local time, after the Korean stock market closes, and will disclose the details of this return plan soon after the meeting. Since the discussion involved internal information, the person requested anonymity.

According to its report, the scale of this shareholder return plan is expected to be between 90 trillion and 110 trillion won, making it one of the largest capital return initiatives in Samsung Electronics' history. Samsung's official representative declined to comment.

Currently, investors are closely watching how Samsung distributes dividends and share buybacks from this huge amount of money, as well as the specific implementation schedule of the plan.

The market generally expects that any decision at this meeting will further clarify Samsung's capital allocation strategy and future cash flow outlook. As Korean chipmakers benefit from the continued rise in global demand for artificial intelligence (AI) semiconductors, investors are increasingly calling for higher returns.
