Goldman Sachs said in a Sept. 9 report that shareholder returns are likely to increasingly drive South Korean equity performance, complementing earnings growth and helping reverse perceptions of weak corporate capital returns. Policy moves — a “corporate value enhancement” plan, dividend tax incentives and proposed tax changes for buybacks — are shifting from voluntary disclosure toward substantive incentives and stronger accountability for capital allocation and payouts. On fundamentals, consensus earnings and free cash flow forecasts have been revised up while corporate balance sheets retain ample cash, supporting larger dividends and buybacks without materially pressuring capex or balance-sheet quality. Buybacks and treasury-stock cancellations are accelerating and high-dividend opportunities are broadening. Goldman expects aggregate dividends plus buybacks to rise sharply in 2026–27, lifting total shareholder return to roughly 9% in 2026 and about 14% in 2027.

Pakistan said on Thursday it is not discussing a military response to Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia but will act under the Mecca Agreement "when the time comes", foreign ministry spokesman Sajjad Haider Khan said at a weekly briefing. The joint defence pact signed last month with Saudi Arabia and Turkey says an attack on any of the three states will be treated as an attack on all. Khan’s comments followed Houthi strikes this week on Saudi cities and energy infrastructure that Reuters said have opened a second front in the Middle East. Islamabad has warned Iran to restrain its Houthi ally and condemned the attacks but gave no detail on how it might fulfil obligations under the pact.
