Woori Financial Group Board Backs KRW 220 Quarterly Dividend for Q1 2026

An update from Woori Finance Holdings Co ( (WF) ) is now available.

On April 24, 2026, Woori Financial Group’s board approved a resolution recommending a quarterly cash dividend of KRW 220 per common share, implying a total payout of about KRW 160.8 billion based on shares outstanding as of April 23. The dividend, equivalent to a 0.6% market price-dividend ratio, carries a record date of May 11 and is scheduled to be paid on May 29, without the need for a separate shareholders’ meeting.

The company noted that the final dividend amount may change depending on the number of outstanding shares on the record date, reflecting its ongoing treasury share acquisitions. The payout will be funded from amounts converted into retained earnings via a reduction of capital reserve, meaning it is generally not treated as taxable dividend income under Korean tax law, which could enhance after-tax returns for many shareholders and underscores the group’s focus on predictable, investor-friendly capital distributions in 2026.

The most recent analyst rating on (WF) stock is a Buy with a $72.26 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Woori Finance Holdings Co stock, see the WF Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on WF Stock

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

WF scores as moderately attractive: valuation is a key strength (low P/E and solid yield), but overall financial performance is held back by higher leverage and historically volatile cash flows. Technicals are currently weak/oversold, while earnings-call guidance is constructive on capital and returns but includes notable near-term cost and risk items.
