[Alpha Biz=(Chicago) Reporter Kim Jisun] KB Securities, a traditional powerhouse in the corporate bond issuance market, is also leading the stock issuance market in the first half of this year. KB Securities ranked first not only in bonds but also in stock issuance in the first half of the year thanks to a series of paid-in capital increases in the initial public offering (IPO) market, where large fish disappeared.

Since the beginning of the year, KB Securities has represented a total of 475.7 billion won in transactions on the stock market (ECM). Starting with Lotte Chemical's paid-in capital increase at the beginning of the year, KB Securities has been steadily building up its performance to Jarvis, Daesung Changtu, Selvas Healthcare, Selvas AI and KEC.

Samsung Securities and Mirae Asset Securities are competing for second and third place in the stock issuance market in the first half of the year, respectively. Samsung Securities, which hosted a total of KRW 366.2 billion, received attention by listing "Gigavis" (KRW 545.1 billion based on public offering price), the biggest fish in the IPO market, in the first half of the year.
