How this market cap is arrived at
| Shares outstanding | 6,648,649,811 |
| Basis | sum of separately listed lines |
| As of | 2026-06-30 |
| Source | Samsung Electronics IR, "Listing Information" page (company's own disclosure) |
| common | 5,846,278,608 × 257000 KRW (005930.KS) |
| preferred, non-voting | 802,371,203 × 186800 KRW (005935.KS) |
| Priced on | close 2026-08-28, converted at the ECB reference rate |
| Market cap | $1.2tn |
Two separately listed lines at different prices. Market cap = 005930.KS price x 5,846,278,608 + 005935.KS price x 802,371,203; the preferred normally trades at a 15-25% discount, so using the common price for all 6.65bn shares overstates the cap. Share count fell in 2026: 73,359,314 common + 13,603,461 preferred treasury shares were cancelled on 2 Apr 2026 (6,735,612,586 -> 6,648,649,811), so any count of 6,735,612,586 or the older 6,792,669,250 is stale.
Share counts move on a filing cadence, prices move continuously — so this figure is exact only as of the two dates above, and we publish both rather than a single undated number. Provenance.
