\"[Yonhap \uc0ac\uc9c4 \ud655\ub300 [Yonhap News] <\/p>\n

Hana Securities raised its target stock price from 160,000 won to 230,000 won on the 14th, saying it has secured growth engines by actively promoting new robotics businesses for LG Electronics.<\/p>\n

LG Electronics’ consolidated operating profit rose 35% year-on-year to 1.6737 trillion won in the first quarter of this year.<\/p>\n

By division, the home appliance (HS) division recorded the largest quarterly sales ever due to the peak season effect and the expansion of online and subscription businesses. Hana Securities analyzed that it achieved solid profitability by expanding the proportion of high-yield businesses and cost-cutting activities.<\/p>\n

Despite intensifying competition, the Media Entertainment Solutions (MS) division saw a significant improvement in profitability from the same period last year due to increased sales of premium TVs and reduced marketing and fixed costs.<\/p>\n

The battlefield (VS) segment achieved its largest quarterly performance ever based on its pre-secured order backlog, and continued to improve stable profitability due to improved mix and cost efficiency.<\/p>\n

The eco-solutions (ES) segment saw its sales decline year-on-year due to weak consumer sentiment caused by increased market uncertainties such as the Middle East war, and profitability also worsened due to rising logistics costs and parts unit prices.<\/p>\n

LG Electronics previously announced plans to establish a mass production system for actuators for humanoid robots within this year and to verify Cloid technology (PoC) in 2027 at a general shareholders’ meeting in March. Hana Securities is believed to be actively accelerating its robot business, considering that it has advanced its PoC plan to the first half of this year.<\/p>\n

In addition, new orders for the data center cooling business are increasing rapidly, and momentum from the full-scale launch of AI-related businesses such as discussing collaborations with Nvidia on physical artificial intelligence (AI), AI data centers, and mobility cannot be excluded.<\/p>\n

Hana Securities predicted that LG Electronics’ consolidated annual operating profit will increase 55% year-on-year to 3.8 trillion won this year.<\/p>\n

Although demand recovery is limited due to continued uncertainties at home and abroad, it is expected that the MS sector will turn into a surplus by reducing fixed costs and raising market prices due to restructuring. In the second half of the year, one-time profits from tariff refunds are also expected to be reflected.<\/p>\n

Kim Min-kyung, a researcher at Hana Securities, said, “While profit and physical strength have improved significantly through intensive cost-cutting activities, it is expected that the full-scale development of new businesses such as robot actuator mass production lines will serve as momentum,” adding, “It is understood that the process of certifying core products such as data center chiller and cooling water distribution unit (CDU) is also proceeding smoothly.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\uc0ac\uc9c4 \ud655\ub300 [Yonhap News] Hana Securities raised its target stock price from 160,000 won to 230,000 won on…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":15896,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[621],"tags":[315,357],"class_list":{"0":"post-15895","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-lg-electronics","8":"tag-lg","9":"tag-lg-electronics"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15895","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15895"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15895\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/15896"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15895"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15895"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15895"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
