Odaily reported that on the evening of June 16, SK Hynix responded to market rumors claiming that the company was preparing a shareholder return policy worth 100 trillion won. The company said it is exploring various measures to enhance shareholder value, but stressed that it has never discussed the specific shareholder return scale or related details cited in the report.
The company’s clarification separates two points: SK Hynix is reviewing multiple approaches aimed at improving shareholder value, while it denies having discussed the 100 trillion won scale mentioned in the market rumor. In other words, the company did not confirm the amount described in the report and did not acknowledge the reported scale of the shareholder return policy.
Shareholder return generally refers to arrangements through which a company delivers value to shareholders, such as dividends or buybacks. In this case, however, the information provided by SK Hynix was limited to its statement that it is considering various plans to enhance shareholder value and that it has never discussed the scale described in the relevant report. The original note cited Jinshi as the source.
