LG Uplus said it posted a record quarterly operating profit in the second quarter, helped by growth in its AI data centre business and cost efficiency. Revenue fell 3.9 percent from a year earlier, but service revenue rose 2 percent and operating profit climbed 13.1 percent. The company said enterprise infrastructure revenue increased, including AI data centre sales. Mobile and smart home revenue also rose, and it announced additional share buybacks and a higher interim dividend.

LG Electronics said on Tuesday it filed details of its 2026 interim dividend plan after a board resolution. The record date is Aug. 13 and it will pay a cash dividend of 500 won per share for both common and preferred shares, totalling 89.7 billion won, with payment scheduled for Aug. 28. The company also completed a 100 billion won share buyback and plans to cancel the shares this year as part of its shareholder return plan.
