Samsung Electronics delays shareholder returns plan, shares plunge temporarily 6.6%BlockBeats reports that October 29, the lack of a new shareholder returns plan in its earnings report disappointed investors, sending Samsung Electronics shares back from their earlier gains and temporarily down 6.6%. Samsung Electronics said it would announce the plan at the end of January. This stands in stark contrast to SK SK Hynix, which not only released strong earnings on Wednesday but also said it planned to return approximately 45000000000 USD in additional funds to shareholders. In addition, profits from Samsung's chip business fell short of expectations, while increased capital expenditure also weighed on market sentiment toward the company.

eToro analyst Josh Gilbert said that making the market wait until January to see the full returns plan left a gap where good news should have been. Samsung also raised capital expenditure by approximately 60%this year, so until it clearly explains how the windfall will be allocated between new capacity and shareholders, exactly how much money will actually return to investors remains a real question.

Rob Li, managing partner at Amont Partners, said that delaying the details of shareholder returns until January was disappointing, giving stock traders an excuse to rotate funds into SK SK Hynix or Micron over the coming months, as the other two companies have clearer paths for shareholder returns.
