Strong group-level beat driven by securities division should support the stock near-term, but watch for Kookmin Bank's revenue decline as a potential headwind. The preliminary nature means final audited numbers could differ — monitor the 20-F filing for confirmation. The cross-filing 20-F (86d ago) provides annual context but does not change the bullish read on this quarter.
