Q2 Dividend Set at 740 Won, Paid 28 August, With Q3 Dates Already Fixed

Shinhan declared 740 won a share for the second quarter, 347.4bn won in total on 469,450,238 shares, with a record date of 30 July and payment on 28 August. Annualising that rate against the 107,400 won close gives roughly 2.76% before tax. The more interesting content is the calendar. Article 165-12 of the Capital Markets Act was amended on 21 January 2025 to let boards set the quarterly record date rather than having it fixed at quarter-end, and Shinhan's board used it on 5 February 2026 to pre-announce all three of this year's record dates: 30 April, 30 July and 3 November, paying 29 May, 28 August and 27 November. So the amount was declared on 23 July, a week before the record date — under the old arrangement a Korean shareholder had to own the stock on the record date without knowing what the dividend would be. For a foreign holder that was the worst feature of Korean dividends, and it has quietly been fixed. The third-quarter amount will be set at a separate board meeting after the quarter closes.

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.
