Samsung Electronics stock (ISIN KR7005930003) was last at KRW 270,000.00 on the KRX on September 28, 2026, down 5.43 percent from KRW 285,500.00. The move came as the September 29 ex-dividend date approached, with the September 30 record date setting the immediate shareholder-return calendar, according to Edaily.

Dividend dates set the near term

Samsung Electronics investors had to purchase shares by September 28 to qualify for the quarterly dividend, while the ex-dividend date falls on September 29 and the record date on September 30. Edaily reported that Eugene Investment and Securities estimated the distribution at KRW 4,604.00 per share, although the final amount is set at a later board meeting.

The price reaction is material against that calendar. Samsung Electronics traded between KRW 270,000.00 and KRW 285,500.00 during the September 28 session, with volume of 23,356,362 shares and a market capitalization of KRW 1.8 quadrillion.

Yuanta raises target to KRW 630,000.00

Yuanta Securities Korea raised its target price from KRW 530,000.00 to KRW 630,000.00 on September 23 and maintained a Buy rating, citing a longer memory-chip cycle, according to Seoul Economic Daily. The new target is KRW 100,000.00 above the old one, a quantified increase of 18.87 percent.

Yuanta projected 2026 revenue of KRW 745.987 trillion and operating profit of KRW 358.485 trillion, representing increases of 123.6 percent and 722.2 percent from the prior year. Those are forecasts rather than reported results, so the central question for the next report is whether memory demand converts into realized earnings.

Second quarter delivered KRW 171.50 trillion

Samsung Electronics reported second-quarter 2026 revenue of KRW 171.50 trillion and net income of KRW 71.27 trillion, according to TradingView. Revenue exceeded the KRW 170.94 trillion estimate shown on the same company page, while net income rose from KRW 47.10 trillion in the preceding quarter.

Samsung's investor-relations page identifies 2Q 2026 as the latest quarterly-results period and lists October 29, 2026 as the next earnings date on the company calendar. The upcoming report will test the gap between bullish memory-cycle forecasts and the stock's dividend-adjusted trading response.

Stock remains below the yearly high

Samsung Electronics was last at KRW 270,000.00 on the KRX on September 28, 2026 at 3:30 p.m. KST. Its 52-week range was KRW 83,200.00 to KRW 374,500.00, leaving the reference price below the yearly high while the dividend schedule and October earnings date define the next measurable checkpoints.
