0641 GMT - Samsung Electronics could generate cumulative free cash flow of about 100 trillion won, equivalent to $70 billion, this year, Macquarie Equity Research's Daniel Kim and Jacob Kim write in a note. The world's largest memory-chip maker is best positioned to gain from a multiyear industry boom, the analysts say. They raise their EPS forecast for Samsung by 73% for 2026, citing higher DRAM and NAND prices. Samsung's "cash available for catch-up payment" could reach 103.8 trillion won by end-2026, with its net cash position expected to triple this year. "Thus, we believe that the company can return cash to shareholders more than promised," they say. (kwanwoo.jun@wsj.com)
