NH Investment & Securities said on Jan. 29 it posted annual operating profit of 1.42 trillion won in 2025 and net profit of 1.03 trillion won. It said the results were the best in the company’s history.

That was up 57.7 percent from a year earlier, when operating profit was 901.1 billion won, and net profit rose 50.2 percent from 686.6 billion won. The results opened what it called an era of 1 trillion won net profit.

NH Investment & Securities said it set a mid- to long-term goal of building a "sustainably achievable RoE of 12 percent" by 2028, based on its 2025 performance.

It plans this year to strengthen organic links among its retail, IB and management businesses. It also aims to raise business competitiveness by a step through efficient capital management and artificial intelligence innovation.

It said its strategy is to lay the groundwork for exponential growth by boosting profitability and growth at the same time through AI-based customer analysis, advanced sales and risk management, and improving internal operating efficiency.

CEO Byung-woon Yoon (윤병운) said, "These results are not a one-off outcome driven by a specific market environment, but the result created by strengthening competitiveness across all business divisions and a balanced portfolio strategy." He added, "We will continue to further solidify our leading position in the capital market based on a sustainable profit structure and AI innovation."
