Woori Bank's stock plummeted 5.39% during intraday trading on Friday, following the release of the company's first-quarter financial results.
The decline came after Woori Financial Group reported quarterly earnings of $1.58 per share, representing a 1.24% decrease compared to earnings of $1.61 per share from the same period last year. The company also reported sales of $1.884 billion for the quarter, which marks a 1.05% decrease from sales of $1.904 billion in the year-ago period.
