Kina Securities Ltd. ( (AU:KSL) ) has provided an update.

Kina Securities Limited has revised its audited financial statements from the unaudited preliminary final report, following discussions with its auditor over the accounting treatment of certain intangible assets and financial instruments. The changes centre on reclassifying capitalised costs for anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing capability upgrades and an enterprise resource planning project to operating expenses, and reducing the carrying value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.

These adjustments produce a combined pre-tax charge of PGK9.1 million and a PGK3.0 million reduction in income tax expense, resulting in a net PGK6.1 million decrease in net profit after tax while leaving cash, trading performance and net assets largely unchanged. Kina stressed that the revised NPAT remains within previously guided ranges and that its 2026 outlook and underlying business performance are unaffected, limiting the operational and strategic impact for shareholders and other stakeholders.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:KSL) stock is a Buy with a A$1.57 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Kina Securities Ltd. stock, see the AU:KSL Stock Forecast page.
