KOSPI value and ownership filings

JKN News reported on September 29, 2026 that major shareholder and executive ownership-change disclosures accompanied the trading session. The disclosures add a governance-monitoring angle to the companys earnings and brand-expansion story.

Amorepacific had a market capitalization of KRW 8.3 trillion on the KOSPI on September 29, 2026. Its 52-week range was KRW 94,000 to KRW 169,000, placing the stock within a wide valuation corridor as investors weigh double-digit revenue growth against sequential operating-profit pressure.

Amorepacific stock keeps growth test

The Q2 figures and analyst upgrades establish a clear comparison: revenue growth accelerated to 17.0 percent year over year, while the 10.0 percent operating margin remained below the stronger Q1 level. The next valuation debate therefore centers on whether derma brands, COSRX and international channels can convert sales growth into sustained profit expansion.
