McKinley: Samsung is expected to generate a cumulative free cash flow of 1 trillion Korean won by 2026.

Daniel Kim and Jacob Kim from the stock research department of Macquarie wrote in a report that Samsung Electronics may generate approximately 100 trillion Korean won in cumulative free cash flow this year. These analysts stated that the world's largest memory chip manufacturer is in a prime position to benefit from several years of industry prosperity. They have raised their earnings per share forecast for Samsung in 2026 by 73%, citing the increase in DRAM and NAND prices. By the end of 2026, Samsung's "cash available for repayment" could reach 103.8 trillion Korean won, with their net cash position expected to double this year. They said, "Therefore, we believe that the cash returned to shareholders by the company can exceed the promised level."
