DS Investment & Securities raised its Samsung SDI target from KRW 840,000 to KRW 940,000 on October 8, 2026, while maintaining a Buy rating. Financial News reported that the higher target reflected expected energy storage system growth and a return to profitability for small batteries.

Three dated earnings signals

On March 31, 2026, Samsung SDI reported first-quarter revenue of KRW 3.58 trillion and an operating loss of KRW 236.01 billion in the finance data series. By June 30, 2026, second-quarter revenue had reached KRW 3.77 trillion and operating profit KRW 203.80 billion, a swing of KRW 439.81 billion from the first-quarter operating result.

ATS View reported second-quarter revenue growth of 18.50 percent year over year and operating profit of KRW 204.00 billion. The comparison matters because first-quarter operating profit was negative KRW 236.01 billion, making the second quarter a quantified turnaround rather than a simple revenue increase.

What does the target increase imply?

Financial News said DS Investment expects third-quarter revenue of KRW 4.00 trillion and operating profit of KRW 257.50 billion, above an earnings consensus of KRW 131.80 billion. The same report identified a settlement gain of KRW 150.00 billion linked to minimum purchase volumes in the Synergy Cells venture, so the forecast contains a material one-off factor.

Excluding that settlement gain, the company-wide operating profit estimate was KRW 107.50 billion, while the battery division estimate was KRW 63.70 billion. The distinction gives investors a cleaner way to judge the underlying recovery as energy storage system volumes expand and the automotive business faces a BMW volume gap.

Next reporting date
