KB Financial: Q1 Net Profit And Updated Dividend Guidance Surpassed Expectations
I am still bullish on KB Financial, taking into account positive surprises related to its first quarter results and full-year shareholder return prospects. The company's recent quarterly net income came in +6% better than the consensus forecasts, thanks to NIM expansion and cost optimization. It raised its full-year dividend guide by 8%, and disclosed a new KRW 0.3T share repurchase plan.
