SEOUL, South Korea, Aug. 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Toss Securities has reported a strong performance in the first half of 2024. The company posted operating profit of $22.3 million (KRW 30.6 billion), achieving its full-year target within the first six months of the year.
This continued solid performance is attributed to Toss Securities' robust U.S securities trading services, reporting a 96% increase in trading volume year-over-year. Domestic securities trading also recorded a 38.7% increase in trading volume year-over-year.
In addition, Toss Securities reported a net profit of $25.1 million (KRW 34.3 billion) during the same period, marking a significant improvement from the previous year.

"Our strong performance in U.S. securities trading as a market leader in Korea has been instrumental in continuing our growth in the first half of the year," said Seungyeon Kim, CEO of Toss Securities. "For the second half, we anticipate an operating profit exceeding $43.9 million (KRW 60 billion) through product diversification such as our recently launched U.S. bonds and other additional streams of revenue."
