Samsung Electronics ( (GB:SMSN) ) has provided an announcement.
Samsung Electronics reported the completion of a planned share repurchase program conducted between January 30 and March 10, 2026, buying 19,496,637 common shares at an average price of KRW 183,252 for a total of KRW 3,572.8 billion. The acquisition matched the originally planned amount, and as of March 12, 2026, the company holds 134,417,230 treasury shares across common and other share classes, representing about 2% of total shares on a book-value basis.
Following the repurchase, Samsung’s treasury stock in common shares rose to 120,813,769, while major shareholder Samsung Life Insurance’s overall stake remained broadly stable, with only marginal changes due to on-market transactions in its special account. The move underlines Samsung Electronics’ continued use of buybacks as a shareholder-return tool and may support earnings per share and capital efficiency, while signaling management’s confidence in the company’s long-term prospects and balance sheet strength.
