Mirae Asset Securities Tops South Korea Brokers in Q2 Profit with 1.38 Trillion Won, Up 240.6%

According to Digital Daily, Mirae Asset Securities is projected to lead South Korea's securities industry with 1.38 trillion won in net profit for the second quarter of 2026, up 240.6% from 405.9 billion won in the same period last year. This marks the brokerage's second consecutive quarter claiming the top spot, surpassing Korea Investment & Securities, which is forecast to report 802.6 billion won in net profit for the same period.

The performance surge is driven by substantial valuation gains from SpaceX investments. Mirae Asset's initial investment in SpaceX was approximately 800 billion won; by the end of Q1 2026, the book value had risen to 3.3 trillion won. According to KB Securities analyst Kang Seung-geon, approximately 2 trillion won in SpaceX-related valuation gains are expected to be reflected in Q2 results based on a valuation of $164 per share.
