Hana Financial posts record first-half net profit
"Hana Financial Group and Hana Securities posted robust first-half earnings, driven by stronger wealth management, brokerage fees and stable investment banking, with Hana Financial signaling continued shareholder returns through dividends and buybacks. While H1 profits surged, Hana Financial’s Q2 results slightly missed market expectations, as the group highlighted solid revenue growth across WM, IB and S&T with persistent volatility shaping the environment."
