Hyundai Autoever (ISIN KR7307950006) received an upgrade to Buy and a KRW 500,000 target from Samsung Securities on September 23, 2026, according to StockHub. The call links the company's future growth to data center construction, robot data accumulation and autonomous driving data.

Samsung sets a higher valuation bar

StockHub reported that Samsung Securities raised its investment opinion to Buy and lifted the target to KRW 500,000, a 25 percent increase according to the published summary. The analysis applies a target price-to-earnings ratio of 42 times to the 2027 and 2028 average earnings per share.

The valuation argument also points to Hyundai Motor Group's planned Saemangeum data center construction from 2027 and autonomous driving data accumulation from 2028. Those milestones place Hyundai Autoever's software and data infrastructure role at the center of the analyst case.

Fiscal 2025 profit provides support

Historical fiscal 2025 net income stood at KRW 182.48 billion, up 6.85 percent from KRW 170.79 billion in fiscal 2024, according to Eulerpool. Fiscal 2025 revenue reached KRW 4.25 trillion, while EBIT stood at KRW 255.30 billion on the same historical series.

Gross profit rose to KRW 622.79 billion in fiscal 2025 from KRW 394.51 billion in fiscal 2024, an increase of 57.86 percent, according to Eulerpool. The comparison gives the target-price upgrade a concrete operating backdrop, although the analyst case relies mainly on future data center and mobility applications.

KRX valuation remains wide

Hyundai Autoever closed at KRW 380,000.00 on the KRX on October 1, 2026. The finance quote showed a 52-week range of KRW 147,600.00 to KRW 1,066,000.00 and market capitalization of KRW 10.5 trillion as of October 2, 2026.

The stock's position inside that range leaves the KRW 500,000 analyst target 31.58 percent above the October 1 closing price, calculated in the same currency. The distance reflects both the target's upside framework and the valuation sensitivity attached to the company's longer-dated technology expansion.
