On the evening of June 16, in response to market speculation suggesting that 'SK Hynix is set to unveil a shareholder return initiative worth hundreds of trillions of won', the company issued a statement. SK Hynix confirmed that it is actively considering multiple strategies to bolster shareholder value, yet it emphasized that no concrete discussions have taken place regarding the precise scale of shareholder returns as purported in the rumors. Earlier, the Korea Economic Daily had reported that SK Hynix was poised to launch a shareholder return program valued at 100 trillion won in the fourth quarter of the current year, encompassing stock repurchases and cash dividends. This action is widely regarded by external observers as a significant strategic maneuver by SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won, aimed at elevating the company's standing and valuation within the global capital market through substantial shareholder returns.
