Woori Finance Holdings Co ( (WF) ) just unveiled an update.

On February 6, 2026, Woori Financial Group’s board approved a resolution recommending a year-end cash dividend of KRW 760 per common share, with a record date of February 27, 2026, implying a total payout of about KRW 557.9 billion based on current outstanding shares. Including quarterly dividends already paid for 2025, the full-year dividend comes to KRW 1,360 per share and KRW 998.9 billion in total, corresponding to an annual dividend yield of 4.4%; the cash will be funded via a reduction of capital reserve and, for most shareholders, will not constitute taxable dividend income under Korean tax law. The decision remains subject to external audit and approval at the annual general meeting, and the final amount may change depending on treasury share movements. Separately, on February 5, 2026, the board of Woori Bank, the group’s wholly owned banking subsidiary, resolved to recommend a year-end cash dividend of KRW 1,638 per common share for the 2025 financial year, totaling roughly KRW 1.17 trillion on 716 million shares, all of which will accrue to Woori Financial Group; this payout is likewise contingent on audit results and shareholder approval at Woori Bank’s annual general meeting scheduled for March 20, 2026, reinforcing the group’s capital return to its parent shareholders.

Spark’s Take on WF Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, WF is a Neutral.

The score is driven primarily by mixed financial performance (notably weaker TTM revenue/margins and volatile cash flows, alongside steady profitability and a growing equity base). Valuation is a clear positive with a low P/E and solid yield, while technical indicators are broadly neutral. The latest earnings call adds support via improving NIM, fee income strength, and better capital, though higher credit costs and expenses temper the outlook.
