SK Hynix’s plan to repurchase 24.07M shares, about 3.3% outstanding, and cancel them sets a concrete benchmark for capital returns. Samsung’s position is less settled: its existing policy combines KRW9.8T in annual dividends with 50% of three-year cumulative FCF, while any buyback remains under review. The real comparison is not headline size but capital discipline. If AI memory materially lifts cash flow, Samsung may gain room to fund expansion and strengthen returns; until timing and scale are defined, however, reports of a plan above KRW100T should be treated as a scenario, not a commitment. Not advice, just analysis. #SamsungToFollowHynix
