Kyobo Securities analyst Choi Bo-young said Samsung Electronics’ 2026 shareholder-return package, which the company estimates at 90–110 tln won, may be below market expectations; investors had priced in up to 140 tln won. Samsung says the package would be its largest ever, but the analyst judged it unlikely to deliver a “surprise” for shareholders. Samsung approved a Q3 dividend distribution of 30 tln won and launched a 15 tln won buyback earmarked for employee compensation; details of further shareholder-return measures will be announced later.
