According to a report by the Maeil Business Newspaper, KB Securities' analysis report released on the 4th predicts that Samsung Electronics' net cash (cash and cash equivalents minus borrowings) will reach 210 trillion won by the end of this year, while SK Hynix's will reach 181 trillion won. Compared to the end of last year, the two companies' net cash will increase by more than 2 times and 16 times respectively. Although both companies plan to allocate approximately 100 trillion won each for shareholder returns this year, they will still have a large amount of cash remaining after completing these expenditures. The market is paying close attention to the investment strategies of these funds, as they could potentially impact the supply and demand dynamics of the South Korean bond market.
