Samsung Could Deliver Better Shareholder Returns This Year -- Market Talk

Dow Jones03-18 12:05

0405 GMT - Samsung Electronics could deliver better shareholder returns this year than previously expected, Nomura's C.W. Chung and Eon Hwang say. The analysts raise their net-profit forecast for the South Korean technology giant by 28% to roughly 276 trillion won in 2026, citing higher-than-expected memory-chip prices. The company is projected to return around 50% of free cash flow to shareholders in 2026, with cash dividends likely to surge 524% in line with strong net profit growth, they say. Nomura expects Samsung's dividend per share to jump more than six times to 10,589 won in 2026, compared with 1,676 won in 2025. (kwanwoo.jun@wsj.com)
