Daol Investment & Securities cut its target for Samsung Securities stock from KRW 170,000 to KRW 160,000 on October 13, 2026, while retaining a Buy rating, according to NewsPim. The report's forecast puts third-quarter 2026 operating profit at KRW 486.4 billion and controlling net income at KRW 359.7 billion, with both figures below the previous quarter but above the year-earlier period.

Three target milestones

The target history gives the latest cut a clear valuation context: Daol Investment & Securities had set KRW 86,000 on October 20, 2025, KRW 190,000 on July 9, 2026, and KRW 160,000 on October 13, 2026, according to NewsPim.

What does the target cut change?

The revised target is KRW 9,053 above the six-month analyst average of KRW 150,947, a premium of 6.00 percent, while it is KRW 20,000 below Daol's July target. That combination points to a positive view on Samsung Securities with a more restrained valuation than the previous peak.

Second-quarter earnings set the base

Samsung Securities reported operating profit of KRW 676.0 billion and net income of KRW 488.0 billion in the second quarter of 2026, compared with KRW 610.0 billion and KRW 451.0 billion in the first quarter, respectively, according to ATS View. Operating profit therefore increased 10.82 percent quarter over quarter, while net income rose 8.20 percent on the same comparison.

The company's investor-relations page identifies the second-quarter 2026 quarterly report as an August 4, 2026 release and describes its activities across asset management, brokerage, investment banking and digital and pension services, according to Samsung Securities.

Next reporting date

The next filing deadline for the third-quarter report is November 16, 2026, according to Todaystk. The date follows the statutory filing timetable for the July to September period.
