Samsung Electronics Pref Shares (005935 KS)

<ul>
<li>Looks like a replay of last October’s playbook—family block deal prepped, shares dumped fast, and Samsung likely to drop a value-up–style shareholder return update tomorrow.</li>
<li>Samsung’s KRW 2.5tn buyback finished ~3 months early, signaling a pre-positioning move ahead of a fresh shareholder return rollout, possibly as soon as tomorrow.</li>
<li>Best-Case 100% special dividend for 1P spread unlikely; expect a hybrid of conditional dividend plus buybacks. Still enough to pivot near-29% 1P discount. So we need a tactical approach tomorrow.</li>
