Nomura maintained a KRW 670,000 12-month target for Samsung Electronics on October 19, 2026, while the company is preparing to report third-quarter results on October 29. The target was part of Nomura's view that memory supply shortages driven by artificial intelligence infrastructure investment could persist through 2028, as MoneyToday reported on October 21, 2026.
Samsung enters results countdown
Samsung's October 8 guidance set third-quarter sales at a KRW 194.00 trillion to KRW 196.00 trillion range and operating profit at KRW 107.30 trillion to KRW 107.50 trillion. The median estimates were KRW 195.00 trillion in sales and KRW 107.40 trillion in operating profit, according to Samsung Global Newsroom.
That guidance compares with second-quarter sales of KRW 171.50 trillion and operating profit of KRW 89.49 trillion. The figures were reported on a K-IFRS basis, giving the October 29 release a clear operating benchmark.
What does the buyback change?
Chronology provides three concrete reference points: on August 21, 2026, Samsung announced a KRW 15.00 trillion repurchase plan; on October 6, it completed purchases of 56.86 million common shares; and on October 12, the completed program was reported with treasury stock at 136.73 million shares, or 2.34 percent of common shares outstanding, according to Investing.com.
Dates that shape the next move
The next dated event is the third-quarter earnings conference call on October 29, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. KST. Samsung's investor-relations page also identifies September 30, 2026 as the record date for the next quarterly dividend, with the dividend details due after a board meeting.
