Daishin Securities raised its target for LG Electronics (KR7066570003) to KRW 270,000 from KRW 240,000 on September 29, 2026, while keeping its Buy rating, according to Chosunbiz. The 12.50 percent target increase puts AI data-center cooling, robotics and vehicle components at the center of the current valuation case.

Target rises on cooling demand

Daishin estimates LG Electronics will report KRW 941.90 billion in consolidated operating profit in the third quarter of 2026, up 36.70 percent from the same quarter a year earlier. Its sales estimate is KRW 24.76 trillion, representing growth of 13.20 percent, Chosunbiz reported on September 29, 2026.

The research cited KRW 600.00 billion in AI and data-center cooling orders secured during the first half of 2026, with additional orders worth KRW 2.00 trillion to KRW 3.00 trillion expected in the second half. That mix gives the Eco Solution division a clearer route toward higher-value business, although the forecast remains an estimate rather than a reported result.

Second-quarter profit sets the base

LG Electronics reported KRW 23.83 trillion in revenue in the second quarter of 2026, up 14.90 percent from the prior-year quarter. Operating profit reached KRW 1.58 trillion, an increase of 146.90 percent, according to Awakeplus on August 14, 2026.

The same report puts second-quarter net income at KRW 781.30 billion, compared with KRW 609.60 billion a year earlier. The improvement matters because it combines double-digit revenue growth with a sharp operating-profit recovery, creating the earnings base behind Daishin's higher target.
