Youngone stock (ISIN KR7111770004) was trading at KRW 69,900 on KRX on October 7, 2026 at 9:59 a.m. KST, up 3.25 percent from the prior close of KRW 67,700. The latest reported operating picture remains positive, with second-quarter 2026 sales and profit both rising at double-digit rates.

Second-quarter sales rise 19 percent

According to Chosun Biz on September 18, 2026, Youngone reported second-quarter sales of KRW 1.2317 trillion, up 19 percent year over year, and operating profit of KRW 175.6 billion, up 20 percent. OEM sales increased 22 percent to KRW 850.1 billion, while OEM operating profit rose 18 percent to KRW 198.7 billion.

The mix matters for investors because the OEM business generated KRW 198.7 billion of operating profit against KRW 850.1 billion of sales in the quarter. That puts the reported OEM operating margin at 23.4 percent, calculated from the figures published for the same period.

Analyst target moves lower

As Financial News reported on October 1, 2026, NH Investment and Securities maintained its Buy recommendation but lowered its target price from KRW 120,000 to KRW 105,000. The cut reflects lower earnings estimates after an adjustment to the won-dollar exchange rate, rather than a change in the outlook for dollar-denominated orders.

NH Investment and Securities forecast third-quarter revenue of KRW 1.2872 trillion, up 7 percent year over year, and operating profit of KRW 197.0 billion, up 9 percent. Those estimates were below market forecasts of KRW 1.35 trillion in revenue and KRW 212.0 billion in operating profit, making currency effects the main near-term counterweight to Youngone's order growth.

Consensus stays above the market

StockHub listed a consensus of 10 Buy ratings, zero Hold ratings and zero Sell ratings, with a median target of KRW 125,000. Its September 29, 2026 overview showed five published targets averaging KRW 126,000, with a high of KRW 140,000 and a low of KRW 110,000.

Against the KRW 69,900 price on October 7, 2026, the median target is 78.8 percent above the stock price. The comparison highlights the gap between broker expectations and the market quotation, while the lower NH target shows that estimates are still sensitive to foreign-exchange assumptions.
