Amorepacific (KR7090430000) faces a third-quarter operating profit consensus of KRW 116.7 billion after the estimate fell from KRW 118.3 billion, while SK Securities kept a KRW 180,000 target for Amorepacific stock. eDaily reported the consensus change on October 19, 2026, and Gate News reported the SK Securities target on October 8, 2026.
Currency pressure tests forecasts
The lower consensus places foreign-exchange risk beside Amorepacific's international growth story. eDaily said the operating profit estimate moved down to KRW 116.7 billion from KRW 118.3 billion as the stronger won reduced the value of overseas sales translated into Korean currency on October 19, 2026.
The forecast change contrasts with the latest reported quarter. Amorepacific generated KRW 1.18 trillion of revenue in the second quarter of 2026, up 17.0 percent year on year, while operating profit reached KRW 117.0 billion and the operating margin was 10.0 percent, according to ATS View.
Three dated signals for the stock
On October 6, 2026, LS Securities kept a Buy rating and a KRW 190,000 target, with third-quarter revenue forecast to rise 12.2 percent year on year and operating profit to increase 20.8 percent, according to ChosunBiz. On October 8, 2026, SK Securities maintained its KRW 180,000 target while trimming its operating margin estimate by 0.7 percentage points ahead of promotional spending. On October 19, 2026, eDaily reported the KRW 116.7 billion consensus, making currency translation the immediate counter-factor to the sales outlook.
What does the target imply?
The two analyst targets sit above the latest Korean-market quote, but they carry different assumptions about overseas brand growth and marketing costs. SK Securities estimated North America sales growth of 24.0 percent in its Q3 and Q4 outlook, while Greater China sales were projected to decline 9.2 percent, according to Gate News.
Market position and next marker
Amorepacific's latest quoted price was KRW 141,300.00 at the Korea Exchange on October 20, 2026 at 9:06 a.m. KST. The figure was 16.39 percent below the KRW 169,000 52-week high from the same market snapshot, keeping the analyst targets and the currency-sensitive profit estimate central to the stock's near-term debate.
