0036 GMT - Shinhan Financial Group's 4Q earnings could largely meet market consensus despite one-off costs related to its early retirement program and penalties tied to its sales of equity-linked securities that resulted in huge losses, Daiwa Capital analyst Mike Oh and Daeho Son write in a note. The South Korean lender's net profit likely came in at KRW512 billion for the October-December period, broadly in line with the Bloomberg-compiled consensus estimate of KRW521 billion, they say. The analysts expect Shinhan's dividend per share to have reached a higher-than-expected KRW2,610 in 2025, with its total shareholder returns likely rising to 50.6% from 40.2% in 2024.(kwanwoo.jun@wsj.com)
