As Kia's stock price plunged, triggering a Volatility Interruption (VI), the market is closely focused on the earnings disclosure announced today.

According to the Korea Exchange on the 24th, a static VI for Kia shares was triggered at 2:33:09 PM and lifted at 2:35:10 PM. As of 2:57 PM, Kia is trading at 137,000 won, down 19,100 won (12.75%) from the previous trading day, showing a strong bearish trend with the decline widening to the 130,000-won level during the session.

Overall, both the KOSPI and KOSDAQ plunged in the domestic stock market today. This follows a significant contraction in investor sentiment due to heightened geopolitical tensions between the United States and Iran. The decline is analyzed to be driven by growing concerns over rising international oil prices and increased volatility in global financial markets, which fueled a shift toward risk-off sentiment.

Kia's Q2 2026 Preliminary Earnings Announcement In relation to this, Kia disclosed its Q2 2026 preliminary consolidated earnings today. The details are as follows:

• Revenue: 33.037055 trillion won (up 12.6% year-over-year)

• Net Income: 2.327742 trillion won (up 2.6% year-over-year)

*※ Compared to the previous quarter, operating profit increased by 19.2% and net income increased by 27.2%.*

Investors are now closely watching whether Kia's stock price can recover its losses during the remaining trading hours and how the market will evaluate these earnings results.
