Samsung’s investor relations policy says shareholder returns are delivered through dividends and share repurchases, including treasury shares.

Eugene Securities analyst Sohn In-joon said Samsung did not mention the possibility of raising its existing shareholder-return policy or announce a plan to cancel treasury shares.

Rival chipmaker SK hynix rose 0.4%, while South Korea’s benchmark KOSPI index fell 1.5%.

Investor focus on treasury shares has increased as South Korea has tightened related rules.
