Samsung Pledges KRW 90–110 Trillion 2026 Shareholder Return, Largest in Korean History

Samsung Electronics announced on August 21, 2026 an estimated 2026 shareholder return of KRW 90 to 110 trillion, which it calls the largest ever by a Korean company. That range is nine to eleven times Samsung's November 2024 buyback of KRW 10 trillion. The board is expected to detail the split between dividends and buybacks at a meeting later in August.
