As 55 Trillion Won Buyback Ends, Samsung-Hynix Selling Pressure Eases

During the buyback, the companies provided support through continuous purchases; after its conclusion, reduced selling pressure could be a short-term positive for the stocks. However, the medium- to long-term outlook still depends on fundamentals and the industry cycle, making the impact neutral.
