Nomura Securities maintained a KRW 670,000 12-month target for Samsung Electronics on October 19, 2026, according to MoneyToday. The report argued that concerns about slower artificial intelligence growth had been reflected excessively, while Samsung stock was quoted at KRW 222,500 in early trading on October 21, 2026, up 5.20 percent from the prior session, according to MoneyToday.

Guidance sets the benchmark

Samsung Electronics announced third-quarter guidance on October 8, 2026. The company projected consolidated sales of KRW 195.00 trillion and operating profit of KRW 107.40 trillion, with the underlying sales range at KRW 194.00 trillion to KRW 196.00 trillion and operating profit ranging from KRW 107.30 trillion to KRW 107.50 trillion, according to the Samsung Global Newsroom.

The sales midpoint would be 13.70 percent above the KRW 171.50 trillion reported for the second quarter of 2026. Second-quarter operating profit stood at KRW 89.49 trillion, compared with KRW 12.17 trillion in the third quarter of 2025, according to the same company release.

What does the target imply?

Nomura's KRW 670,000 target is a valuation view rather than a new company forecast. The report said memory supply shortages driven by artificial intelligence data-center investment could persist until 2028, giving Samsung's semiconductor exposure a central role in the argument. MoneyToday also reported that Mirae Asset Securities maintained an Overweight rating on semiconductors and a KRW 400,000 Samsung target.

Three dates shape the setup

On October 8, 2026, Samsung issued third-quarter guidance of KRW 195.00 trillion in sales. On October 19, 2026, Nomura maintained its KRW 670,000 target. On October 21, 2026, Samsung stock traded at KRW 222,500 in early KRX trading, a 5.20 percent rise, as reported by MoneyToday.

Samsung's reporting calendar

Samsung's next substantiated reporting date is October 29, 2026, when its third-quarter earnings conference call is scheduled for 10:00 a.m. KST. The investor-relations calendar also identifies October 8, 2026, as the date of the third-quarter guidance announcement.

Listing and market context

Samsung Electronics trades under ticker 005930.KS on the KRX and is classified in Information Technology, according to Global Banking and Finance Review. For investors, the next test is whether the guidance becomes confirmed quarterly results while the memory outlook supports the valuation case.
