Tuesday, September 8, 2026
Samsung Electronics announced an equity buyback program. The company's non-voting preferred shares trade at approximately 45% below common shares, according to market data. Investor expectations suggest the buyback may target preferred shares to narrow this valuation gap. South Korea's corporate governance rules permit such buybacks, and other Korean companies hold similar preferred stock discounts.
