Lotte Corporation (ISIN KR7004990008) received a maintained KRW 31,000 price target from Heungkuk Securities on October 2, 2026. The report kept its Buy rating while forecasting third-quarter revenue of KRW 4.2 trillion and operating profit of KRW 165.6 billion, with operating profit down 10.5 percent year over year, according to Newspim.

Three dates frame the story

The recent sequence links valuation, retail demand and the next earnings checkpoint. On October 2, 2026, Heungkuk Securities kept its KRW 31,000 target. On October 6, Lotte Department Store said foreign customer sales had exceeded KRW 1 trillion for the year, compared with KRW 734.8 billion for the whole of the previous year, as Pulse reported on October 7. On October 18, Lotte said it had invited more than 17,000 employees and family members to an event held on October 16, according to The Asia Business Daily.

What does the target mean?

The target sits against a mixed operating picture. Lotte's latest reported quarter generated revenue of KRW 4.09 trillion and earnings per share of KRW 355, while the revenue forecast was KRW 4.04 trillion, according to Investing.com. Revenue therefore exceeded that forecast by 1.24 percent. The same report lists annual revenue of KRW 15.63 trillion and net income of minus KRW 424.39 billion, emphasizing why the analyst target depends on earnings improvement rather than sales growth alone.

Next reporting checkpoint

Lotte's next earnings report is scheduled for November 18, 2026, according to Investing.com. For investors, that release will test whether the company's retail momentum can offset pressure in the wider conglomerate portfolio.
