SK hynix declares a ₩375 quarterly dividend, ₩273.3 billion in total

SK hynix's board approved a quarterly cash dividend of ₩375 per common share on August 7, totalling ₩273.3bn, with an August 31 record date. Set against 2025 net income of about ₩42.9tn, the payment is roughly 0.6% of a single year's profit; against the ₩1,178tn market capitalization it is 0.02%, which is the yield the filing itself prints. That is an unusually small distribution for a company earning this much, and the filing acknowledges the gap directly, saying additional shareholder-return measures are under active review with details to be finalised during the third quarter. The company also warns that the final total may move, since it is calculated on the share count at the board date rather than at the record date.

SK hynix sets August 31 as the record date for its quarterly dividend

The companion filing to SK hynix's ₩375 per share quarterly dividend, fixing August 31, 2026 as the date on which entitled shareholders are identified. Six outside directors attended the August 7 board meeting with none absent. The stated basis is Article 54-2 of the articles of incorporation, the quarterly-dividend clause. Holders are determined by record date alone, with no closing of the share register. No amount appears here; the money is named in the declaration filed the same day.

Dividend08/07/26kstock explained
A Korean dividend arrives as two filings: the board's cash-dividend decision (amount, record date, payment date) and, for year-end dividends, a shareholder-register closing notice.

How Korean dividends work

  • Record date and amount. Traditionally the record date was the fiscal year-end (December 31) and the amount was only set at the board meeting and AGM in February–March, so investors bought before knowing the payout. Under the 2023 procedure reform, companies that amended their articles now fix the amount first and set the record date afterwards; many large caps have adopted this, others still use the year-end date.
  • Ex-dividend. KRX settles T+2, so a share goes ex-dividend one business day before the record date. Year-end dividends are paid within a month of the AGM that approves them, typically April.
  • Interim and quarterly dividends need a provision in the articles; a minority of large companies pay quarterly, most pay once a year.
  • Withholding tax. Korea withholds 22% (20% plus local tax) from non-resident holders by default; the Korea–US treaty lowers it to 15% (10% for a corporate holder of at least 10%), subject to your broker filing the treaty paperwork. Residents pay 15.4%.
  • Preferred shares (“우선주”) usually carry a slightly higher per-share dividend than common shares and no vote.
