Korea Investment Holdings filed unaudited second-quarter numbers on 6 August. Revenue was ₩13,553.8bn, up 92.7% year on year. Operating income was ₩1,344.2bn against ₩585.6bn a year earlier, a rise of 129.56%. Net income was ₩998.4bn, up 84.78%, and profit attributable to owners of the parent was ₩995.9bn. For the half, operating income reached ₩2,450.5bn, up 119.74%, and net income ₩1,915.0bn, up 91.57%. Those half-year figures are 94.6% of what the company earned in all of FY2025. The filing carries a warning most readers skip: first-quarter and second-quarter revenue do not add to the cumulative figure, because unrealised valuation gains on financial assets and liabilities were adjusted when the half-year statements were prepared.
This filing reports the results of Korea Investment & Securities, the brokerage subsidiary, rather than the listed holding company. The securities arm booked second-quarter revenue of ₩12,895.6bn, up 94.66% year on year, and operating income of ₩1,210.2bn, up 92.38%. Net income was ₩946.4bn, up 64.02%. For the half, operating income was ₩2,170.1bn and net income ₩1,731.1bn, up 89.05% and 68.85%. Set those against the holding company's own filing the same day. The parent reported ₩998.4bn of consolidated net income for the quarter, so the brokerage produced about 95% of it. The filing also states that the subsidiary was 52.3% of the group's total assets at the end of 2025, which means half the balance sheet is generating nearly all the profit.
Korea Investment Holdings is the parent of Korea Investment & Securities, one of the country's top brokerage and investment banking houses, along with asset management and consumer finance units. Its earnings come from retail trading, underwriting and advisory fees, and gains on investments it makes with its own balance sheet. It has been among the more aggressive Korean financial firms in overseas alternative assets, which cuts both ways when property markets turn. US readers can use it as a read on Korean capital-markets activity.
