The latest announcement is out from Woori Finance Holdings Co ( (WF) ).

Woori Financial Group reported strong preliminary consolidated results for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, with revenue climbing 45.5% year-on-year to KRW 15.28 trillion. Net income reached KRW 638.9 billion, up 87.0% from the previous quarter but down 2.4% from a year earlier, while profit attributable to equity holders of the parent dipped 2.1% from first quarter 2025, indicating robust top-line momentum but a slight year-on-year earnings contraction.

Key subsidiary Woori Bank also posted solid first-quarter 2026 preliminaries, with revenue surging 64.5% from the prior quarter and 41.8% from a year earlier to KRW 12.00 trillion. However, its net income of KRW 522.1 billion, though up 77.5% sequentially, was 17.8% lower year-on-year, suggesting margin or cost pressures even as core banking income expanded; all figures remain subject to auditor review and possible adjustment under Korean IFRS.

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.
