On Tuesday, data released by the Korea Exchange revealed that in the first nine months of this year, the aggregate net profit of South Korean listed companies soared by over 25% year-on-year, with the lion's share of the growth stemming from two chip industry behemoths. Based on the Korea Exchange (KRX) data, the cumulative net profit of the 639 firms listed on the Korea Composite Stock Price Index (KOSPI) amounted to 152.3 trillion won (roughly equivalent to US$103.9 billion) from January to September, marking a 25.8% year-on-year increase, or a rise of 31.2 trillion won.
