KIS snapshot estimate: the current combined KIS market capitalization is divided by an estimated KOSPI total that scales the reported 2026-09-18 KOSPI capitalization by the KIS KOSPI index move from that anchor. It is refreshed every 30 minutes and is not a closing observation or a reported daily value.

Sources: data.go.kr reported daily KOSPI close and market capitalization · KIS quote snapshots for the separately marked estimate · KIS adjusted completed-session prices for the price-leadership panel · calculated by Korean Tickers. For each price session, the basket uses the latest available reported market-cap weights dated before that session. Samsung Electronics market capitalization includes its non-semiconductor businesses.
