DB Securities raised its Samsung SDI target from KRW 680,000 to KRW 840,000 on October 7, 2026, a 23.53 percent increase, according to NewsPim. The brokerage forecast third-quarter revenue of KRW 4.10 trillion and operating profit of KRW 191.8 billion, citing compensation income, rising energy storage demand and the planned ramp-up of lithium iron phosphate battery production.

AI data centers widen the battery market

Samsung SDI's latest product push targets more than grid-scale storage. In a September 29, 2026 newsroom release, Samsung SDI said its portfolio spans battery backup units, uninterruptible power supply batteries and energy storage systems for AI data centers.

The company also unveiled a 21700 cylindrical lithium iron phosphate battery for battery backup units. That product broadens the addressable market from large storage installations to server-level power stability, where rapid load changes require immediate backup capacity.

Second-quarter recovery changes the baseline

Samsung SDI reported second-quarter revenue of KRW 3.77 trillion, up 18.50 percent from a year earlier, while operating profit reached KRW 203.8 billion, according to ATS View. The period marked a sharp shift from the first quarter, when revenue was KRW 3.58 trillion and the company posted an operating loss of KRW 155.6 billion.

For investors, the key test is whether ESS growth can offset uneven electric vehicle demand. DB Securities' third-quarter forecast provides a quantified benchmark, while the product expansion supplies an operational reason for the higher target.
