LG Chem stock stood at KRW 252,500 on the Korea Exchange on September 23, 2026, down 0.59 percent from KRW 254,000. The latest company financing adds a project catalyst as quarterly operating profit returned to positive territory.
SAF plant receives KRW 250 billion
Biz Chosun reported on September 22, 2026, that the Korea Export Import Bank will provide KRW 250 billion for LG Chem's eco-friendly aviation fuel production base at the Daesan petrochemical complex.
The financing links LG Chem's petrochemical operations with sustainable aviation fuel, while the share price remains 42.3 percent below its 52-week high of KRW 437,500. Its 52-week low is KRW 224,000.
Q2 profit reverses Q1 loss
LG Chem reported Q2 2026 consolidated revenue of KRW 14.1759 trillion, up 19.0 percent from the prior year, while operating profit rose 25.8 percent to KRW 599.6 billion, according to Daily Stock.
The result marked a reversal from the operating loss reported for Q1 2026. The comparison matters because the profit recovery came alongside higher quarterly revenue, giving the stock a clearer earnings reference than the prior quarter.
Market value remains below yearly peak
LG Chem's market capitalization was KRW 19,764,463,002,500 on September 23, 2026. The stock's KRW 252,500 price was also 12.7 percent above its 52-week low of KRW 224,000, showing a wide valuation gap between the yearly extremes.
LG Chem stock therefore combines a fresh industrial financing project with a measurable Q2 earnings recovery. The next market test is whether improved operating profit can narrow the distance from the KRW 437,500 yearly high.
