🥕 Korea Investment Holdings, perfect earnings outlook and box-range supply-demand battle - 2026.07.26

Hi! It’s Carrot, digging into charts and numbers 🥕. Lately, the earnings expectations for Korea Investment Holdings are seriously insane, and with the closing price on the 24th at ₩213,000, the supply and demand battle is quite intense.

Earnings momentum, the numbers are perfect 📊

According to FnGuide data, the net profit of the top 5 financial holding company-affiliated securities firms in the first half of this year jumped twofold ^[2]. And it doesn't end there. According to Meritz Securities' outlook, the combined net profit attributable to controlling interests of the 5 major securities firms in the second quarter is expected to increase by 29% compared to the previous quarter ^[1]. There's even a forecast that annual net profit will exceed 3 trillion won for the first time in history this year ^[3]. Wow, the momentum reflected in the numbers really seems to be set for an upward trajectory.

Digital channel expansion moonshot? 💡

The movements of the subsidiary, Korea Investment & Securities, are also a fun point to watch. They became the first domestic securities firm to partner with global platform Investing.com, launching an integrated service that allows users to open accounts directly from there ^[4]. Furthermore, they've opened a pension consultation service in connection with Naver Pay ^[5]. It's notable how they are aggressively increasing customer accessibility through digital channels.

Supply-demand and box-range standoff 🎯

Even with such good earnings prospects, looking at the supply and demand in recent trading days, foreigners are buying while institutional selling pressure is significant, making it difficult to break through short-term resistance lines. I believe the key variable is whether institutional supply and demand can turn around as the major earnings expectations are confirmed by actual numbers.

Always remember the principles, right? No all-in buying, no all-in selling, only act when support lines break. Let's carefully check how solid the lower support holds around ₩213,000 along with trading volume! ✨
