KB Financial Group Inc (KB)

The company now

KB Financial Group's board has called an extraordinary shareholders' meeting for 20 November 2026 to appoint Jae Keun Lee as an executive director 3. The Korea Times reported that he was picked as the next chairman for a three-year term, over the sitting chairman, Jong Hee Yang 8.

Profit attributable to shareholders of the parent company was 3.88 trillion won in the first half of 2026, up 13.07 percent from a year earlier 5. The Herald Business called that a record for any half-year period 9.

The company is also buying back its own shares: by 23 October 2026 a trust run by Samsung Securities had bought 3,960,000 shares for 698,152 million won, out of a contracted 700,000 million won 4. The purchase was still going on 4.

The open question is the leadership change, which shareholders vote on 20 November 2026 3. The board explained the move as a need for a bold transformation in its own filing 2.
