Cosmax (ISIN KR7192820009) received a KRW 370,000.00 target from Samsung Securities on October 8, 2026, after the analyst raised the target from KRW 270,000.00, according to Asiae. The report linked the revision to expected operating leverage across Cosmax subsidiaries.

Target history spans three dates

On August 12, 2026, Citi raised its Cosmax target from KRW 234,000.00 to KRW 310,000.00, according to Investing.com. On September 30, 2026, Eugene Investment and Securities lifted its target from KRW 280,000.00 to KRW 330,000.00, reported by ChosunBiz. The latest revision came on October 8, 2026, when Samsung Securities moved its target to KRW 370,000.00 from KRW 270,000.00.

What does the target signal?

The earnings foundation is already visible in the second quarter of 2026. Cosmax generated KRW 795.0 billion in revenue, up 27.5 percent from the prior year, while operating profit reached KRW 73.7 billion with a 9.3 percent margin, according to Atsview. The combination of revenue growth and a higher operating result explains why the analyst target is centered on profitability rather than only sales expansion.

Cosmax last stood at KRW 284,500.00 on the Korea Exchange on October 19, 2026 at 3:30 p.m. KST. Its market capitalization was KRW 3.2 trillion at that date, while the 52-week range ran from KRW 141,000.00 to KRW 320,000.00.

Valuation sets the frame

The latest target sits above the October 19 market level, while the stock remains below its 52-week high of KRW 320,000.00. For investors, the next test is whether the forecast operating improvement appears in the third-quarter report.
