Samsung updated investors on its 2024-2026 shareholder-return policy, announced January 31, 2024: return 50% of cumulative free cash flow generated over 2024-2026, split between a fixed ₩9.8tn annual regular dividend and an additional payout sized each year off the residual FCF (net of items like customer prepayments and stock compensation). Samsung says it already executed ₩29.3tn combined (₩20.9tn dividends plus ₩8.4tn buybacks/cancellations) across 2024-2025, and now estimates the residual due for 2026 alone at roughly ₩90-110tn. For Q3 2026, it plans a combined cash dividend of about ₩30tn, to be finalized at a board meeting in late October 2026; the rest of the 2026 return and its form (dividend vs. buyback/cancellation) will be decided at a board meeting around end-January 2027, after the fiscal year closes. The guided ₩90-110tn equals roughly 6-7% of Samsung's current ₩1,525.9tn market cap. Samsung states the estimate is forward-looking and can move with results, investment spending, and cash flow.
