Enttäuschende Renditepläne schicken die Aktien von Samsung Electronics auf Talfahrt. Die Papiere des südkoreanischen Chipherstellers fallen um acht Prozent. Das Unternehmen hatte in der vergangenen Woche angekündigt, in diesem Jahr zwischen 90 und 110 Billionen Won (bis zu 79,4 Milliarden Dollar) an seine Aktionäre zurückzugeben. Dies sei mehr als fünfmal so viel wie der bisherige Höchstwert von 20,3 Billionen Won im Jahr 2020, teilte Samsung mit. Im dritten Quartal seien zudem Bardividenden in Höhe von 30 Billionen Won geplant.

SK Hynix erwägt einem Zeitungsbericht zufolge den Bau einer Fabrik in Japan. Der südkoreanische Speicherchip-Hersteller könnte einen zweistelligen Billionenbetrag in der Landeswährung Won in das Projekt in der Präfektur Miyagi investieren, berichtete die Zeitung "Hankyoreh" unter Berufung auf Insider. Mit der Investition im Nordosten des Landes wolle der Konzern seine Produktionskapazitäten angesichts der weltweit wachsenden Nachfrage nach Speicherchips ausbauen.
