POSCO ( (PKX) ) has provided an update.
POSCO Holdings Inc. on March 24, 2026, confirmed its previously announced 2024 Corporate Value-up Plan, targeting compound annual revenue growth of 6–8% and a return on invested capital of 6–9% through 2027, driven by expansion in steel growth markets, strengthening of secondary battery materials, and portfolio rebalancing around core and new businesses. The plan also emphasizes restructuring underperforming assets, governance enhancements with a more board-led CEO and director appointment process, and an ESG risk system at the holding-company level.
The group is committing to a robust shareholder-return framework, including canceling 6% of its shares over 2024–2026, immediate cancellation of newly repurchased shares and using 50–60% of annual free cash flow to sustain a base dividend of KRW 10,000 per share, with additional returns from remaining cash. POSCO Holdings reaffirmed its status as a high-dividend company under Korean tax law, noting that 2024 and 2025 per-share dividends are unchanged at KRW 10,000, while total 2025 dividends are slightly lower due to share cancellations, signaling continued capital returns alongside its strategic growth and governance initiatives.

Spark’s Take on PKX Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, PKX is a Neutral.
The score is held back primarily by weakening fundamentals—contracting revenue, compressed margins/returns, and sustained negative free cash flow—despite a relatively steady balance sheet. Technicals are a key offset with a strong uptrend and positive momentum, but valuation remains challenging with a high P/E even after considering the ~2.5% dividend yield.
