2026-02-23 08:16 KST NH Investment & Securities warns that the recent surge in insurance stocks is not backed by improved earnings prospects or capital policies, arguing prices are excessively front‑running fundamentals; it cites that non‑dividend names including Hanwha Life had jumped 10–30% in a day, and stresses that weak profit outlook and limited capital‑policy progress make the rally unjustified. 보험주 급등에 ‘경고등’…“실적·자본정책 뒷받침 없어, 기대보다 본질 봐야”
