SK Hynix plans about KRW 100 trillion in shareholder returns for 2026
SMH•SK Hynix plans at least 30 trillion won in cash dividends and at least 60 trillion won in share buybacks and cancellations in fiscal 2026, with the plan to be completed by the final dividend payment.
1. Dividend and buyback plan
The company said its third-quarter dividend will be 20,000 won per share, including a 10,000 won special dividend tied to gains from its Kioxia investment. Most of those gains will be returned through special dividends, split between the third-quarter payout and the final dividend. A new 20 trillion won buyback will allocate roughly half to shareholder returns and the balance to employee compensation.
