POSCO Holdings: Treasury Shares Cancellation Worth 3% of Outstanding Shares

By Douglas Kim

  • On 12 August, POSCO Holdings announced that it will cancel treasury shares worth 3% of outstanding shares involving 2.6 million shares worth 672 billion won.
  • The cancellation of treasury shares is a shareholder friendly policy that will improve the company’s ROE and P/E ratios. The treasury shares cancellation will be completed on 22 August 2022. 
  • The combination of treasury shares cancellation and high dividend yield is likely to lead to higher probability of POSCO Holdings outperforming KOSPI on a total returns basis this year.
