Shinhan earnings fell 12.9% from the previous quarter to KRW 1,584.6 billion in the third quarter of 2026. The South Korean financial group also approved a KRW 450 billion share buyback, with purchases planned through January 2027.

Key Takeaways

  • Third-quarter net income declined from the preceding quarter; the available figures do not identify a cause.
  • The approved buyback comprises KRW 200 billion scheduled for 2026 and KRW 250 billion by January 2027.

Shinhan earnings and capital

The October 27, 2026 announcement showed a sequential decline in net income. The percentage change compares the third quarter with the previous quarter, not with the same period a year earlier.

Shinhan’s Common Equity Tier 1 ratio, a measure of bank capital, stood at 13.62%.

Buyback schedule and insurance expansion

The board-approved KRW 450 billion program is part of a larger repurchase plan that puts the 2026 total at KRW 1.6 trillion, up 28% year over year. The amounts are planned purchases, not confirmation that the new program has been completed.

Shinhan is also moving to acquire a 77% stake in Lotte Insurance for KRW 693.3 billion, using internal capital reallocation. The financial group provides banking, credit card, securities, insurance and asset management services.
