0757 GMT - Shinhan Financial Group's shareholder return ratio is expected to exceed its targeted 50% in 2026, a year earlier than planned, Sangsangin Investment & Securities analyst Kim Hyun-soo writes in a note. The South Korean lender is set to spend KRW2.36 trillion this year on buying back or canceling shares and paying dividends, Kim says. He estimates Shinhan's shareholder return ratio will exceed 46% in 2025. The ratio is expected to top 50% in 2026, when the company is likely to still have more than KRW850 billion in extra cash to spend on shareholder returns even after executing a planned KRW200 billion stock buyback, he reckons.
