An error occurred in the Toss Securities mobile trading system (MTS) that incorrectly displayed Kolmar Korea's earnings, causing major confusion for investors.
According to the financial investment industry on the 8th, Toss Securities' MTS incorrectly disclosed Kolmar Korea's first-quarter results as separate (nonconsolidated) figures rather than on a consolidation basis. On this day, Kolmar Korea posted its largest-ever quarterly revenue on a consolidation basis at 728 billion won for the first quarter, but Toss Securities' MTS showed 343 billion won, about half that amount.
Toss Securities identified the error and moved to fix it in the morning, but investor complaints are continuing to pour in. Because the earnings release came during trading hours, some investors who saw the numbers moved to sell.
On the Kolmar Korea board within Toss Securities and in online communities, posts appeared saying, "People's money is on the line—how can you just sweep this under the rug?", "I filed a complaint with the Financial Supervisory Service," and "What about people who panic-sold after seeing the wrong information?"
A Toss Securities official said, "Kolmar Korea's first-quarter 2026 performance data was temporarily displayed on a separate (parent-only) basis rather than on a consolidation basis, causing customer confusion," and added, "We regret the confusion caused and will strengthen our disclosure data verification procedures to prevent the same error from occurring in the future."
