SK hynix will launch a shareholder return program valued at up to 10 trillion Korean won in the fourth quarter of 2026. The strategy utilizes share repurchases and cash dividends to increase the company's global market valuation.

The company will buy back over 2% of its outstanding shares following its American Depositary Receipt (ADR) listing in mid-July. This initiative addresses potential shareholder concerns regarding value dilution resulting from the ADR listing.

Separately, Air Liquide announced a nearly €200 million investment to support SK hynix's new HBM chip packaging facility.
