Samsung Electronics' Q3 dividend jumps 12-fold to $22.5 bil.

Samsung Electronics approved a 30 trillion won dividend for the third quarter at a board meeting on Thursday, as it sought to address sluggish shares despite record earnings. The company set the dividend at 4,601 won per share for both common and preferred shares, payable Nov. 27. It plans to distribute the remaining portion of its 2026 shareholder-return target through cash dividends and share buybacks and cancellations. Third-quarter revenue was 195.25 trillion won and operating profit was 107.44 trillion won.

The quarterly dividend was around 370 won per share in each of the first and second quarters.

Samsung said it would consider adjusting the proportion of preferred shares in buyback and cancellation programs based on market conditions.

Of the planned 90 trillion to 110 trillion won in shareholder returns for 2026, 55 trillion to 75 trillion won had yet to be distributed or committed.

The Device Solutions division recorded 147.1 trillion won in sales and 106.5 trillion won in operating profit.

Samsung plans 84.4 trillion won in capital expenditures in 2026, including 76.8 trillion won for the Device Solutions division.

Samsung Electronics will pay out 30 trillion won ($22.5 billion) in dividends for the third quarter, increasing its dividend per share more than 12-fold in a move to address the mismatch between its sluggish share price and record-breaking earnings performance.

During a board meeting on Thursday, Samsung Electronics approved a quarterly dividend of 4,601 won per share for both common and preferred shares, more than 12 times its quarterly payout of around 370 won per share in the first and second quarters. The dividend will be paid on Nov. 27.

"We are aware of market interest in the price gap between its common and preferred shares, and will actively consider adjusting the proportion of preferred shares in its buyback and cancellation programs based on market conditions," Samsung said.

The company said that of its planned 90 trillion won to 110 trillion won in shareholder returns for 2026, between 55 trillion won and 75 trillion won has yet to be distributed or committed. It plans to return the remaining amount through cash dividends and substantial share buybacks and cancellations.

The plan came as Samsung Electronics shares have remained sluggish despite the company posting record-breaking earnings repeatedly, becoming the world's first tech company to surpass 100 trillion won in quarterly operating profit in the third quarter.

During its earnings call on Thursday, the company reported its revenue and operating profit for the July-September period stood at 195.25 trillion won and 107.44 trillion won, up 126.9 percent and 783.1 percent year-on-year, respectively.

The chipmaking Device Solutions (DS) division accounted for most of the profit, logging 147.1 trillion won in sales and 106.5 trillion won in operating profit.

The memory business significantly expanded sales of high bandwidth memory 4 (HBM4) in response to growing artificial intelligence demand and as well as addressing rising demand for server solid-state drives.

The chip designing System LSI business posted quarterly revenue growth as its systems-on-chip (SoC) and image sensors were adopted in new product models in the second half of the year. It also made progress in its custom SoC business by establishing partnerships with new customers.

The foundry business saw a significant improvement in earnings, driven by growing sales of HBM base dies and increased sales of advanced process technologies to global customers. It also continued securing orders from customers developing 2-nanometer high-performance computing chips.

On the other hand, the Device Experience (DX) division, which handles smartphones and home appliances, posted 52.1 trillion won in sales and an operating loss of 800 billion won, as rising memory chip prices weighed on its profitability.

Samsung Electronics plans to spend 84.4 trillion won on capital expenditures in 2026, including 76.8 trillion won for the DS division.

三星电子将在第三季度派发 30 万亿韩元（225 亿美元）的股息，每股股息增加 12 倍以上，以解决其股价疲软与创纪录的盈利表现不匹配的问题。

三星电子周四召开董事会，批准向普通股和优先股股东派发每股4601韩元的季度股息，是第一季度和第二季度每股约370韩元股息的12倍多。股息将于11月27日支付。

三星表示：“我们注意到市场对其普通股和优先股之间的价格差距很感兴趣，并将根据市场情况积极考虑调整回购和注销计划中优先股的比例。”

该公司表示，其计划在2026年向股东返还90万亿至110万亿韩元，其中55万亿至75万亿韩元尚未分配或承诺。该公司计划通过现金分红、大规模股票回购和注销来返还剩余款项。

尽管三星电子股价屡创新高，屡创新高，但该公司股价依然低迷。该公司第三季度成为全球首家季度营业利润突破 100 万亿韩元的科技公司。

该公司在周四的财报电话会议上公布，7月至9月期间的收入和营业利润分别为195.25万亿韩元和107.44万亿韩元，同比增长分别为126.9%和783.1%。

芯片制造设备解决方案（DS）部门贡献了大部分利润，销售额达 147.1 万亿韩元，营业利润达 106.5 万亿韩元。

为了满足人工智能日益增长的需求以及应对服务器固态硬盘不断增长的需求，内存业务大幅扩大了高带宽内存 4 (HBM4) 的销售。

芯片设计系统级芯片（System LSI）业务实现了季度营收增长，这主要得益于其系统级芯片（SoC）和图像传感器在下半年被应用于新产品型号中。此外，通过与新客户建立合作关系，其定制SoC业务也取得了进展。

晶圆代工业务的盈利显著改善，这主要得益于HBM基芯片销量的增长以及面向全球客户先进工艺技术销售的增加。此外，该公司还持续获得来自开发2纳米高性能计算芯片的客户的订单。

另一方面，负责智能手机和家用电器的设备体验（DX）部门的销售额为 52.1 万亿韩元，营业亏损为 8000 亿韩元，原因是内存芯片价格上涨影响了其盈利能力。

三星电子计划在 2026 年投入 84.4 万亿韩元用于资本支出，其中 76.8 万亿韩元将用于 DS 部门。
