Samsung plans a 90 trillion won buyback to fund a chip-worker bonus
Samsung Electronics is planning a 90 trillion won share buyback over three years, primarily to fund a profit-linked bonus for workers in its Device Solutions semiconductor division. Under a pay deal reached after union negotiations, 10.5% of operating profit will be distributed as shares to chip division staff. The buyback is needed to acquire treasury stock for distribution. The total bonus cost including withholding taxes is estimated at 154 trillion won. Beyond the wage settlement, the large repurchase also addresses the 'Korea discount' — the persistent gap between Korean conglomerate asset values and share prices — by delivering the kind of capital returns foreign investors have long demanded. SK Hynix has meanwhile overtaken Samsung as Korea's most valuable listed company, driven by its lead in high-bandwidth memory for AI accelerators.

South Korean chip shares rally after Micron’s upbeat earnings
South Korean chip stocks surged on June 25 after Micron Technology reported record fiscal Q3 revenue of $41.46bn, well above analyst expectations, and guided Q4 above Wall Street estimates while forecasting tight AI memory supply through 2027. Samsung Electronics rose 5.3% and SK Hynix jumped 9.2%, together lifting the KOSPI by about 4.1%. SK Hynix also filed for a Nasdaq ADR listing targeting up to $29bn — potentially the largest ADR offering on record — earmarked entirely for chip capacity expansion. Samsung separately weighed a ~$58.6bn share buyback for employee stock bonuses. The rally spread to Tokyo, with Advantest, Tokyo Electron, and Kioxia all gaining sharply. High-bandwidth memory, which feeds Nvidia's AI accelerators, remains the key driver, with SK Hynix holding the supply lead and Samsung still qualifying its HBM for Nvidia.
