KOSPI Falls Below 6,000 on Samsung Shareholder Return Disappointment
On October 29, the KOSPI dropped 74.78 points (1.24%) to close at 5,937.66, giving back the 6,000 level after just one day, as Samsung Electronics' shareholder return plans fell short of investor expectations despite record earnings. Samsung's stock fell over 4% on the day. The company reported a record third-quarter operating profit of 107.44 trillion won ($80.4 billion), up 781% year-on-year, driven by AI chip demand, and announced a 30 trillion won ($22.5 billion) dividend payout, a 12-fold increase in dividend per share. However, investors were disappointed that no concrete shareholder return plan was presented, dampening sentiment. Korean media noted the market had hoped for more, with one outlet asking if "10,000 KOSPI is now a dream number."
