HiteJinro stock (ISIN KR7000080002) was last at KRW 14,790 on the Korea Exchange KOSPI market on October 6, 2026 at 3:30 p.m. KST, up 0.14 percent from the previous close. The latest operating picture combines lower sales with a higher quarterly profit margin.

Q2 sales fell 4.3 percent

According to ATS View on October 4, 2026, HiteJinro reported Q2 2026 revenue of KRW 619 billion, down 4.3 percent from the prior-year quarter. Operating profit reached KRW 64.9 billion, producing a 10.5 percent margin, while net income was KRW 40.5 billion.

The quarter-to-quarter comparison is more constructive: Q1 2026 revenue was KRW 591 billion and operating profit was KRW 55.9 billion, so sales increased by KRW 28 billion and operating profit by KRW 9.0 billion in Q2. The figures point to stronger profitability despite year-over-year pressure on revenue.

Production moves to Jeonju

HiteJinro is also reshaping its domestic production network. Tridge Insights reported on September 9, 2026 that the company plans to end operations at its Iksan soju factory on October 16, 2026, moving production, equipment and personnel to Jeonju.

The Iksan site generated KRW 42.97 billion in sales in the previous year, equal to 1.68 percent of consolidated sales, according to the same report. That scale limits the direct revenue exposure, while the operational effect depends on how efficiently the Jeonju site absorbs the transferred production.

Consensus targets KRW 19,833

According to Investing.com, six analysts carry an overall Buy consensus for HiteJinro, with an average 12-month price target of KRW 19,833. The published target range runs from KRW 16,000 to KRW 23,000, giving investors a clear spread of expectations around the earnings recovery story.

For the stock, the key tension is visible in the numbers: Q2 operating profit improved from Q1, but revenue remained 4.3 percent below the prior-year quarter. The next reported checkpoint is listed for November 12, 2026 by Investing.com.
