Samsung Plans Record KRW 90–110 Trillion Payout to Shareholders for 2026

Samsung Electronics said on August 21, 2026 it will give shareholders back KRW 90–110 trillion in 2026 through cash payments and stock repurchases — the largest such payout by a Korean company ever. That's nine to eleven times what it spent buying back shares in November 2024. The board will explain the breakdown later in August.
