DB Insurance stock was last at KRW 182,900 on KOSPI on October 6, 2026 at 3:30 p.m. KST, while second-quarter net income reached KRW 876.9 billion. The insurer's investor-relations page lists the 2026 Q2 earnings release dated August 13, 2026, and the figures point to a sharp sequential profit rebound.

Second-quarter profit rebounds

According to ATSView, DB Insurance reported KRW 1.17 trillion in consolidated operating profit for Q2 2026, compared with KRW 413.0 billion in Q1. Net income also increased from KRW 239.6 billion in Q1 to KRW 876.9 billion in Q2.

The comparison matters because both figures cover consecutive 2026 quarters and use the same consolidated reporting basis. The Q2 result therefore gives the stock a stronger earnings anchor than a bare price move, although the figures do not establish a full-year outlook.

Targets remain above the price

StockHub lists a median analyst target of KRW 243,000 from 10 reports, with 9 Buy ratings, 0 Hold ratings and 0 Sell ratings in its September 27, 2026 consensus view. The median target lies 32.9 percent above the October 6 price of KRW 182,900.

The same page shows a 52-week range of KRW 118,100 to KRW 214,000. The October 6 price was 14.5 percent below the upper end, so the earnings rebound has not lifted the stock back to its yearly high.

Capital and claims remain key

DB Insurance operates in South Korea's property and casualty insurance market, covering automobile, fire, maritime, health and long-term products. The business mix gives quarterly underwriting and investment results equal importance when investors assess the durability of the Q2 profit figure.

A risk marker also appears in the recent issue list on ATSView, which identifies coverage of capital-adequacy pressure under a higher-rate scenario. That issue makes capital strength an important counterweight to the strong quarter-on-quarter earnings comparison.

Stock remains below yearly high

DB Insurance was last at KRW 182,900 on KOSPI on October 6, 2026, up KRW 100, or 0.05 percent, from the prior close. Market capitalization stood at KRW 11.1 trillion, and trading volume reached 151,445 shares.
