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.

KB Financial: A Value Investing Gem
KB Financial Group is one of the leading financial conglomerates in South Korea. Its shares have traded at steep discounts for a long time, a phenomenon known as the Korea discount. Government incentives and management's policies are working together to close that gap with strong, shareholder-friendly measures such as increased buybacks.
