[ Gearbest Technology News]Recently, SK Hynix responded to a 100 trillion won ultra-large shareholder return plan circulated in the market.

Some media previously reported that SK Hynix plans to launch a shareholder return plan with a total scale of up to 100 trillion won (approximately RMB 446.4 billion) in the fourth quarter of this year, covering share repurchases and cash dividends, of which the share repurchase amount is said to reach 40 trillion won. After the news came out, it attracted widespread market attention and raised investors' expectations for the company's future dividend policy.
Market analysts believe that the relevant rumors are related to the continued improvement of SK Hynix’s recent performance. With the rapid growth in demand for high-bandwidth memory (HBM), the company's profitability has significantly improved, and investors' expectations for improved shareholder returns have also increased. However, many industry insiders pointed out that there is a large gap between the return scale of 100 trillion won and the company's current actual operating conditions, and the feasibility is extremely low. In particular, the separate use of 40 trillion won for share repurchases will put greater pressure on the company's capital arrangements and operating decisions.
At the same time, SK Hynix still faces huge capital expenditure needs. Whether it is expanding HBM production capacity or building key infrastructure such as advanced packaging, continued investment in large amounts of money is required to consolidate future competitiveness in the next-generation semiconductor field.
