DS Investment and Securities raised its target for Samsung Electro-Mechanics from KRW 1.60 million to KRW 2.60 million on October 7, 2026, while maintaining a Buy rating, according to EDAILY. The target revision gives the analyst view a clear earnings anchor, while Samsung Electro stock stood at KRW 1,374,000.00 on October 14, 2026 at 3:30 p.m. KST, up 0.81 percent versus the prior close of KRW 1,363,000.00.

Operating profit forecast rises sharply

DS Investment and Securities projected third-quarter operating profit at KRW 651.60 billion, up 150.30 percent from the same period a year earlier and 4.90 percent above the KRW 621.40 billion consensus, EDAILY reported on October 7, 2026. Third-quarter revenue was projected at KRW 3.8728 trillion, up 34.10 percent year over year, making operating leverage the central numerical feature of the forecast.

The forecast also points to a division mix effect. Components revenue was projected at KRW 2.0035 trillion, up 45.10 percent year over year, while its operating margin was expected to reach 20.80 percent versus 13.10 percent in the same period last year.

Stock remains below its yearly high

The KRX quote stood 43.15 percent below the 52-week high of KRW 2,417,000.00 and 602.86 percent above the 52-week low of KRW 195,400.00 on October 14, 2026. Trading volume was 596,664 shares against an average volume of 728,011 shares, while the market capitalization was KRW 99.9 trillion.

The price position leaves the stock well below its yearly peak despite the positive analyst revision. That contrast matters because the target increase and the current quotation describe two different time horizons: the target reflects expected earnings, while the KRX price captures the latest completed home-market session.

Comparison with peers

Samsung Electro: plus 0.81 percent, P/E 103.04, market capitalization KRW 99.9 trillion

Samsung Electronics (KRX, KRW): unchanged, P/E 10.31, market capitalization KRW 1,523.4 trillion

Market position in perspective

Samsung Electro-Mechanics combines a high P/E of 103.04 with a forecast operating-profit increase of 150.30 percent for the third quarter. The comparison with Samsung Electronics and SK hynix shows how much more demanding the current valuation is, even though the projected profit growth is also materially faster.
