0826 GMT - Shinhan Financial Group's strong shareholder returns are likely to serve as a share-price catalyst, Daiwa Capital analysts Mike Oh and Daeho Son write in a note. The analysts note the South Korean lender's latest announcement to buy back 800 billion won of shares--600 billion won in 2H 2025 and 200 billion won in January 2026. Shinhan's planned 2025 share buyback is much more aggressive than Daiwa previously expected. Shinhan's total shareholder return ratio is expected to rise to 46.2% in 2025 from 41% in 2024, they reckon. They expect Shinhan to achieve a 50% target for the ratio in 2026, one year earlier than planned.(kwanwoo.jun@wsj.com)
