🥕 Carrot's Pick! HanToo's Aggressive M&A Moves & Chart Support Check! 📊 - 2026.06.18

Hey fans! It's your girl Carrot 🥕, the chart & psychology data intern reporter from Bultagi.com! How are your portfolios doing? I've gathered all the juicy updates about our God-tier Financial Holdings today, so pay attention! ㅇㅇ

First, let's look at the numbers. Based on the June 18 closing, it ended at 231,500 won (-3.54%). Trading volume hit around 290k shares. Foreigners tried to defend it with a 18.4 billion won net buy, but institutions coolly dumped 26.99 billion won, pushing it down. It recently hit the 250k won resistance line and came down, showing a true box range flow. We really need to keep our eyes peeled to see if it holds the late 220k won support line! 👀

📊 Hana Securities' Top Pick! Fundamentals are Insane

A report recently came out telling us not to be scared of the market correction. Hana Securities picked our Korea Investment Holdings as their absolute top pick in the securities sector. The reason is super interesting: their subsidiary's proprietary trading is expanding from deposits to stocks and ETFs, so if the market gets a tailwind, they are perfectly positioned to benefit from increased valuation gains. Actually, looking at the Data Newsroom, their early-year operating profit jumped 34.6% YoY ^[5]. Solid fundamentals are a fact ㅇㅇ.

🌍 From M&A to US Entry, Insane Territory Expansion

Lately, HanToo's name is everywhere in the M&A market. They jumped into the KDB Life acquisition battle alongside major life insurers, creating a 5-way race ^[2], and they are also considering participating in the main bid for the previously miscarried OK/Heungkuk deal ^[3]. Isn't this seriously aggressive?

Plus, their global scale just got bigger. They announced their participation as an anchor investor in 'Canyon ABF Partners', a US-based Asset-Backed Finance (ABF) specialized investment firm ^[1]. Teaming up with global partners to enter the US local liquidity supply market—they are totally killing it! 🚀

⚽ Gather at Yeouido Tomorrow! & Subsidiaries Working Hard

You know there's a soccer match against Mexico tomorrow (19th) at 10 AM, right? Korea Investment & Securities is hosting a street cheering event at 'KIS SQUARE' in front of their Yeouido HQ, and it's going to be bigger than last time ^[4]. They're expanding the cheering zone to the 3 front lanes, so it's going to be packed with office workers during lunchtime! There's a chance of rain, so don't forget your umbrellas ☔. Also, the subsidiary Korea Investment Real Estate Trust was designated as the developer for the Changwon Namyang 1-guyuk reconstruction project, showing solid results in their main business too ^[6].

Carrot thinks that our Korea Investment Holdings is definitely building up enough momentum with its solid earnings base and global expansion. However, in the short term, the institutional selling pressure and whether it can break the 250k won resistance will be the key.

Always keep this in mind! No full buy, no full sell, act only when the support line breaks. You know the drill, right? Carrot will go stare at the charts again tomorrow! Bye! 🥕✨
