what happened

Reuters published third-quarter operating profit figures for three South Korean companies. Kolmar Korea reported 82 billion won, a rise of 40.5% from a year earlier.

Lotte Shopping posted 175.6 billion won in operating profit, up 34.5% year on year. PharmaResearch recorded 62.6 billion won, an increase of 1.2% compared with the same period last year. All three reports appeared within about four minutes early on November 6, 2026.

why it matters

Early quarterly results from several Korean companies give investors a read on earnings momentum in Seoul ahead of fuller reporting. Gains at individual firms, however, say little about the market as a whole.
