KB Financial Lifts Stock Buyback Guidance as Earnings Hit Record High

According to DB Securities analyst Min-wuk Na on July 8, KB Financial is expected to announce approximately 800 billion Korean won in share buybacks in the second half of 2026, backed by record earnings. The analyst raised the target price to 225,000 Korean won, up 12.5% from prior guidance, citing net profit improvements driven by higher interest income and enhanced fee earnings from non-banking subsidiaries. KB Financial's estimated shareholder payout ratio is projected at 54.9% for the year, positioning it as the sector's top choice based on significant ROE improvement and robust shareholder returns.
