CJ Corp stock is linked to a KRW 180,000 target maintained by Heungkuk Securities on September 23, 2026. Newspim reported that the brokerage kept its Buy rating and repeated the target as the group prepared for stronger second-half results.

What does the target assume?

Heungkuk Securities projected third-quarter consolidated revenue of KRW 12.3 trillion, up 7.50 percent year over year, and operating profit of KRW 753.7 billion, up 13.20 percent. The report described the forecast as a recovery from weaker first-half performance and connected the valuation case to higher shareholder returns.

The target was 15.40 percent below the six-month analyst average of KRW 212,769, according to the same Newspim report. That gap makes the Heungkuk view a conservative reference point rather than a broad measure of market expectations.

Three dated CJ milestones

On June 30, 2026, CJ reported second-quarter revenue of KRW 11.5 trillion, up 3.70 percent from a year earlier, and operating profit of KRW 531.8 billion, with a 4.60 percent margin, according to ATS View. On August 18, 2026, Heungkuk Securities had also used a KRW 180,000 target, before maintaining it on September 23, 2026, according to Newspim. The September update is the latest dated analyst event in this review.

What comes next for earnings?

The next reporting date is November 16, 2026, according to TradingView. The next report will test whether the projected third-quarter revenue and operating-profit improvement is visible in the reported figures.
