Samsung Electronics stock has a dividend record date of September 30, 2026, after the company set that date for shareholders eligible for the next quarterly payout. Samsung said the dividend details will follow an upcoming board meeting.

Second-quarter revenue reaches KRW 171.5 trillion

Samsung Electronics reported revenue of KRW 171.5 trillion in the second quarter of 2026, compared with KRW 133.9 trillion in the first quarter. Operating profit also climbed from KRW 57.2 trillion to KRW 89.5 trillion over the same periods, putting the semiconductor cycle at the center of the earnings picture.

The figures show why the dividend announcement carries more weight than a routine payout date. Samsung's Device Solutions business generated most of the profit in the second quarter, while memory demand linked to artificial intelligence infrastructure supported the sharp sequential improvement. The consumer-facing businesses remain an important counterweight because weaker device demand could reduce the benefit of higher memory prices.

Yuanta keeps a KRW 630,000 target

According to Gate on September 30, 2026, Yuanta Securities maintained a Buy rating and a KRW 630,000 target for Samsung Electronics. The report linked the view to upcoming earnings releases and the prospect of sustained demand for high-value server memory.

That target is a market view, not company guidance. The relevant test for Samsung is whether HBM4 production, customer qualification and memory pricing can support profits beyond the second-quarter jump. Yuanta also expects the broader memory market to benefit from supply constraints as product specifications diversify.

Dividend details await the board

Samsung's investor-relations page says the next quarterly dividend amount will be disclosed after the board meeting. Market coverage has placed the expected third-quarter cash distribution at KRW 30.0 trillion, while the precise per-share amount remains tied to the board decision.

Samsung Electronics had a market capitalization of KRW 1.8 quadrillion as of October 1, 2026. The scale of that value means the dividend decision and the sustainability of the memory profit cycle will shape the stock's next valuation discussion more directly than the record date alone.
