Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. (KR7005930003) stock rose 3.37 percent to 261,000 won on September 18, 2026, while the KOSPI added 2.66 percent and Samsung Electronics led the semiconductor rebound.
Margins still drive the story
As YNA reported on September 18, 2026, Samsung Electronics traded at 261,000 won in Seoul as market heavyweights ended mixed. Aju Press said the stock was up 3.37 percent in after-market trading as of 4:20 p.m. on September 18, 2026.
For the latest quarter, ATSView summarized Q2 2026 revenue at KRW 171.5 trillion, up 130.0 percent year on year, with operating profit of KRW 89.5 trillion and net income of KRW 71.6 trillion. The same source showed Q1 2026 revenue at KRW 133.9 trillion and operating profit at KRW 57.2 trillion, which means Q2 revenue climbed by KRW 37.6 trillion quarter on quarter.
Targets keep support high
Samsung Electronics also traded at 260,500 won as of 8 a.m. on September 18, 2026, according to Sedaily. Sedaily said the stock was still 3.4 percent below its lowest target of 270,000 won and 86.6 percent below the average target of 487,045 won on September 18, 2026.
TradingView reported that an analyst expects operating profit of 650 billion won in the July-September period, up 150 percent from a year earlier and about 9 percent above the market consensus estimate. For investors, that is the key tension now: a stronger profit trajectory versus a stock that still trades below the lowest target.
