Closed at 65% of the way from its 52-week low (₩1,022,000) to its 52-week high (₩1,630,000).
The maker of Buldak instant noodles declared an interim cash dividend of ₩3,200 per share on August 12, totalling ₩24.1bn. Against 2025 net income of about ₩389bn that is roughly 6% of a year's profit, and against a ₩11.1tn market capitalization it works out to about 0.2%. The filing puts the yield at 0.3%, which is low even by Korean standards and reflects how far the share price has run rather than any cut to the payment. The record date is August 27. The total is calculated on 7,533,013 shares — the full 7,533,015 less two treasury shares picked up as odd-lot fractions during a share certificate exchange.
Filed the same day as the ₩3,200 per share declaration, this document does one thing: it sets August 27, 2026 as the date on which Samyang Foods reads its register to decide who gets paid. Five outside directors were present at the August 12 board meeting. The filing cross-references the dividend declaration, so the two can be read together, and states that entitled holders are fixed by record date alone with no closing of the share register. There is no amount here and no payment date; both live in the companion filing.
Samyang Foods makes Buldak, the fiery instant ramen brand that spread through American social media and now sits on mainstream US grocery shelves. Exports, not the Korean domestic market, drive its growth, with the United States among its fastest-growing destinations. It has been adding overseas production capacity to serve demand it long supplied from Korean plants alone. Among Korean consumer companies it has the highest recognition with English-speaking shoppers.
