S&P Global Market Intelligence anticipates that SK Hynix may initiate further share buybacks during the final quarter of the year. Mohammad Hassan, the firm's head of Asia-Pacific equities dividend forecasting, indicated that the company could potentially allocate up to 40 trillion won, equivalent to approximately $28 billion, for this purpose. This potential move follows a period of significant growth in the artificial intelligence memory sector, which has enabled South Korea's leading semiconductor manufacturers to provide record returns to their shareholders. While the outlook for buybacks remains positive, analysts suggest that the threshold for increasing dividend payouts may become more challenging to reach. The firm continues to monitor the financial strategies of major chipmakers as they navigate the current market environment driven by high demand for AI-related hardware.
