Shinyoung Securities Co. (KRX: 001720) delivered its strongest annual earnings on record in fiscal year 2025, with consolidated net profit surging 39.1% year-on-year to KRW 156.1 billion (approximately USD 113 million), as a historic bull run on the Korea Composite Stock Price Index (KOSPI) propelled trading revenues and investment returns across all business lines.
Record Operating Profit Amid KOSPI's Historic Climb
The Seoul-based mid-tier brokerage posted consolidated operating revenue of KRW 3,171.4 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026 — a 28.6% increase from KRW 2,465.7 billion a year earlier. Operating profit jumped 43.8% to KRW 195.8 billion (USD 142 million), while pre-tax profit reached KRW 202.8 billion.
The strong performance was underpinned by an extraordinary equity market environment. The KOSPI gained over 100% during the fiscal year, reaching an all-time high of 6,307.27 points on February 26, 2026 — before pulling back to close the period at 5,052.46 points, still up 100.38% from its opening level. The semiconductor super-cycle, AI-driven investment flows, and government-backed capital market reform measures collectively catalyzed what management described as "the most favorable market conditions in the firm's operating history."
