KOSPI drops below 6,000 as Samsung disappoints

South Korean stocks fell below 6,000 points on Thursday, Oct. 29, as Samsung Electronics reported weaker-than-expected earnings. The benchmark KOSPI closed at 5,937.66, a 74.78-point drop from the previous day. Investors reacted negatively to the lack of a specific shareholder return plan despite the company's record operating profit, which surged 781 percent year-on-year driven by AI demand.
