Industry sources told Korea Economic Daily Samsung Electronics plans a board meeting this month to vote on a shareholder-return package including share buybacks with cancellation and a special dividend. The package is now expected at about KRW150–160 trln (≈CNY720–770 bln), well above earlier KRW100 trln reports. Estimated FY free cash flow is KRW263 trln; cumulative FCF for the 2024–26 return period is ~KRW319 trln, implying roughly KRW160 trln available under a 50% FCF-return policy. Samsung may pay a large one-off special dividend in addition to its regular dividend (KRW1,668 per share) and pursue substantial buybacks and cancellations to offset post-award share pressure and boost shareholder value.

CNN, citing sources, reports the US aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln has begun returning to port but remains in the US Fifth Fleet area of operations.
