Samsung Electronics (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SSNLF#OTC">SSNLF</a>) announces plans to <a target="_blank" href="https://news.samsung.com/global/samsung-electronics-to-buy-back-krw-10-trillion-in-stock" rel="noreferrer noopener">repurchase </a>shares worth 10 trillion won (~$7.17B) as part of its strategy to boost shareholder value.
The Board of Directors approved the buyback program, which will be executed in phases over the next 12 months.
Samsung Electronics will repurchase 3 trillion won in shares from November 18, 2024, to February 17, 2025, as the first phase of its new buyback plan.
The buyback includes 50.14 million common shares and 6.91 million preferred shares, all of which will be canceled to enhance shareholder value.
The remaining portion of the share buyback program will be executed in phases, with timing and methods determined by the Board of Directors.
Samsung Electronics posted a net income of $7.1 billion for the third quarter, with $2.8 billion in profit from its chip division, boosted by strong AI and data center demand. However, delays in NVIDIA&#8217;s AI chip certification allowed competitors SK Hynix and Micron to gain an edge in high-bandwidth memory sales. Mobile chip sales dipped due to inventory adjustments.

EV giant Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) on Thursday announced the company&#8217;s new charging equipment called the V4 cabinet aimed at increasing charging speed and enabling sufficient charging infrastructure for the company&#8217;s upcoming <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tesla-semi">Tesla Semi</a> vehicle slated to enter production in 2026.
What Happened: The V4 Cabinet, Tesla said, supports 400V-1000V vehicle architectures and is capable of delivering up to 500kW for cars and 1.2 MW for the company&#8217;s upcoming Semi. It powers 8 posts and twice the stalls per cabinet. 
&#8220;Our first sites with V4 Cabinets are going into permitting now. First openings in 2025,&#8221; Tesla said in a post on X. 
While Tesla launched its V4 posts last year, it was still using a V3 cabinet, limiting power output.

&#8220;There&#8217;s great engineering behind the V4 system that enables faster charging speeds, lower deployment costs, more efficient power conversion, and higher power density. These benefits for Tesla Semi customers will be a key part of scaling electric trucking,&#8221; Senior Manager for Semi Truck Engineering Dan Priestly said in a post on X.
The new V4 cabinet can also enable charging the company&#8217;s Cybertruck 30% faster, the company said.
Max de Zegher, Tesla&#8217;s Director of Charging, North America, highlighted the efficiency improvements of the new V4 Cabinet, saying, &#8220;Even some of the small incremental improvements matter. V4 Cabinet has a 2% efficiency improvement. Superchargers already deliver over 5 TWh/year, 100 GWh/year in waste heat that can be saved.&#8221;
This is equivalent to the annual electricity usage of over 9,000 households in the U.S. on average, according to data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
