On August 20, Bloomberg reported that JPMorgan stated SK Hynix may add at least $130 billion in shareholder returns before 2027. The company previously announced a stock buyback plan worth 40 trillion won (approximately $29 billion) and plans to increase the proportion of cumulative free cash flow allocated to shareholder returns from 'no more than 50%' to 'at least 50%' for the period from 2025 to 2027. JPMorgan analyst Jay Kwon noted in a report that the key to the 40 trillion won buyback plan is SK Hynix's commitment to raising the upper limit of shareholder returns. Under the new return policy, the company is expected to generate 'at least 180 trillion won in additional shareholder returns' by 2027, equivalent to 16% of the company's current total market value, which is expected to support the stock price after recent declines. Kwon stated, 'We believe the worst is behind us, and we expect sentiment around the stock price to gradually improve in the medium term, recommending investors to increase their holdings.' He added that the announcement of this buyback plan came earlier than the market expected. SK Hynix's stock price rose by as much as 13% on Thursday on the Korea Exchange. The company previously announced plans to buy back and cancel up to 24 million shares, which would become the largest stock cancellation plan in the history of Korean listed companies. The rise in SK Hynix also bolstered the Korean Composite Stock Price Index (KOSPI), with competitor Samsung Electronics' stock price rising by as much as 10%. The market believes that further increases in shareholder return expectations may drive a rebound in Korean memory chip stocks. Recently, the memory sector has seen a pullback due to market concerns over the sustainability of AI investments and competitive pressures from China. Currently, SK Hynix's stock price remains over 40% lower than the historical high reached in June.

On August 20, as long-term U.S. Treasury yields rose rapidly, one or more investors made a significant purchase of a U.S. Treasury ETF highly sensitive to changes in long-term rates, just a day before the Treasury Department announced an expansion of its buyback program. The Pimco 25+ Year Zero Coupon U.S. Treasury Index ETF (ZROZ), with a size of $1.5 billion, saw a net inflow of $123 million on Tuesday, setting a historical record for the fund. The trading volume reached 5.2 million shares, nearly double the previous high set in 2024. ZROZ primarily invests in Separate Trading of Registered Interest and Principal Securities (STRIPS), which are zero-coupon securities created by separating the principal and interest payments of Treasury bonds. The fund's effective duration is approximately 28 years, meaning that if yields decrease by 1 percentage point, its bond prices are theoretically expected to increase by about 28%, making it a highly sensitive tool for betting on changes in long-term U.S. rates. The fund rose 3.2% on Wednesday, marking its largest single-day gain since November 2024.
