Market cap = 005930.KS price x 5,846,278,608 + 005935.KS price x 802,371,203; the preferred normally trades at a 15-25% discount, so using the common price for all 6.65bn shares overstates the cap. Share count fell in 2026: 73,359,314 common + 13,603,461 preferred treasury shares were cancelled on 2 Apr 2026 (6,735,612,586 -> 6,648,649,811), so any count of 6,735,612,586 or the older 6,792,669,250 is stale."
