SK Hynix rumored to launch a shareholder return plan worth hundreds of trillions of won, official response: The specific scale has never been discussed.

SK Hynix responded to Jiemian News stating that it is "exploring various options to enhance shareholder value, but the company has never discussed specific details such as the scale of shareholder returns mentioned in the relevant reports." Previously, The Korea Economic Daily reported that SK Hynix planned to launch an ultra-large shareholder return policy worth 100 trillion Korean won in the fourth quarter of this year, with specific measures including share buybacks and cash dividends. This move was interpreted by outsiders as a major strategic bet by SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won, aiming to enhance the company’s position and valuation in the global capital market through large-scale shareholder returns.
