Hanwha Investment & Securities stock is entering a major capital expansion phase after the board approved measures worth up to KRW 900.0 billion on September 30, 2026. The plan combines a KRW 500.0 billion third-party rights issue with up to KRW 400.0 billion in hybrid capital securities, according to ChosunBiz.
Capital plan targets 3 trillion won
Hanwha Asset Management and Hanwha Life Insurance will each invest KRW 250.0 billion in the rights issue. The securities issuance is intended to strengthen the balance sheet and support an application for comprehensive financial investment business status.
Hanwha Investment & Securities had consolidated equity of KRW 2.26 trillion at the end of June 2026, while the qualification threshold is KRW 3.0 trillion, The Korea Herald reported on September 30, 2026. The proposed financing therefore addresses a KRW 740.0 billion gap before any additional regulatory assessment.
Quarterly revenue jumps 263.6 percent
Q2 2026 revenue reached KRW 3.23 trillion, up 263.6 percent from the year-earlier quarter, while operating profit was KRW 55.6 billion, according to ATS View. Q1 2026 revenue was KRW 1.66 trillion, making the second-quarter figure 94.6 percent higher sequentially.
The figures add operating scale to the capital story, but the financing also brings dilution and funding costs into the investor calculation. The rights issue price is KRW 5,000 per share, and Hanwha Asset Management's stake is expected to rise from 46.0 percent to 46.7 percent after completion.
KOSPI quote stays below yearly high
Hanwha Investment & Securities was quoted at KRW 4,580 on the KOSPI on October 1, 2026 at 12:55 p.m. KST. Its market capitalization was KRW 979.5 billion, while the 52-week range stood at KRW 3,515.00 to KRW 10,300.00 on the same date.
