Meritz Financial issues KRW 202 billion debt: Meritz Financial stock has KRW 21.0 trillion value

Meritz Financial Group Inc. (ISIN KR7138040001) had a market capitalization of KRW 21.0 trillion on October 1, 2026. On September 21, 2026, MarketScreener reported that Meritz Financial would issue KRW 202 billion in capital-recognized debt securities, giving Meritz Financial stock a capital-strengthening event to assess alongside its latest earnings.

KRW 202 billion capital issue

The debt securities issue is the most recent dated corporate event in the available coverage and follows a broader capital-management sequence in the third quarter of 2026. ATS View identifies the September 21 filing as a decision to issue capital-recognized debt securities and reports an issue rate of 5.70 percent.

For investors, the figure matters because the transaction is large relative to quarterly earnings. The KRW 202 billion issue equals 20.87 percent of second-quarter operating profit of KRW 967.6 billion, using the figures reported for the same company and period.

Second-quarter profit reaches KRW 791.4 billion

ATS View reports second-quarter operating profit of KRW 967.6 billion and net income of KRW 791.4 billion for 2026. Compared with the first quarter, operating profit increased from KRW 854.8 billion by 13.20 percent, while net income rose from KRW 680.2 billion by 16.35 percent.

The earnings progression gives the capital issue a measurable operating backdrop. Second-quarter net income was 16.35 percent higher than in the first quarter, while operating profit grew 13.20 percent, so the latest results show faster sequential improvement in profit than the balance-sheet transaction alone indicates.

KRW 21.0 trillion market value

Meritz Financial trades on the KRX under ticker 138040, and Global Banking and Finance identifies the security as Meritz Financial Group under ISIN KR7138040001. The next earnings date is listed as November 18, 2026, by TradingView.

Market capitalization was KRW 21.0 trillion as of October 1, 2026. That valuation provides the current market frame for the KRW 202 billion capital issue and the sequential gains in second-quarter operating profit and net income.
