[Edaily Reporter Choi Oh-hyun ] SK hynix announced on the 7th that it will pay a quarterly dividend of 375 won per common share. The company also stated that it plans to announce additional shareholder return measures by September.

SK hynix announced on the 7th that it held a board of directors meeting and decided to pay a quarterly cash dividend of 375 won per common share. The total dividend amount is 273,324.8 million won. The dividend yield is 0.02%, and the record date is the 31st of this month. The dividend is scheduled to be paid within one month of the record date.

The company also announced that it will unveil additional shareholder return measures during the third quarter. In its disclosure, the company stated, “We are actively reviewing additional shareholder return measures to enhance shareholder value,” adding, “Specific details will be finalized and announced during the third quarter.” This brings forward the announcement of the shareholder return plan—originally scheduled for later this year—to within September. Accordingly, the new shareholder return plan and its scale are expected to be disclosed by the end of September at the latest.

On the 29th, SK hynix stated during a conference call, “We are fully aware of the market’s high level of interest and are reviewing various additional shareholder return measures,” adding, “We will share these with the market and investors by the end of the year.” However, some expressed dissatisfaction, noting that this response was insufficient to quell shareholders’ high expectations.

Consequently, the company appears to have announced plans to unveil its shareholder return measures sooner than originally anticipated. While various proposals—such as increased dividends or a stock split—are being discussed, SK hynix maintains that “we are reviewing various options, but no specific plan has been finalized yet.” With cash generation having improved significantly amid the boom in artificial intelligence (AI) memory, market attention is focused on additional shareholder return measures, such as increased dividends and share buybacks and cancellations.
