Samsung Electronics ( (GB:SMSN) ) has issued an announcement.
Samsung Electronics has approved a share repurchase plan to buy back 18 million common shares worth approximately KRW 2.5 trillion on the open market between January 8 and April 7, 2026. The repurchased stock will be held as treasury shares and earmarked primarily for employee stock-based compensation programs, including recently introduced Performance Stock Units and other long-term incentive schemes, signaling a continued focus on talent retention and performance alignment. The buyback, to be executed through Samsung Securities, Shinhan Securities and KB Securities, represents an additional deployment of the company’s substantial distributable profits, and comes on top of an already significant treasury share position, suggesting an ongoing strategy of combining shareholder returns with internal incentives while staying well within legal profit distribution limits.
