Samsung (XKRX:000830, Financial)’s shares were strong in the quarter after the company reported better-than-expected results and a transformative share repurchase plan.

Samsung has long-frustrated many investors because management accumulated too much cash in the last decade. We think the increased commitment to shareholder returns could attract more attention to the stock over time.
