- Second-quarter 2026 revenue was KRW 3.18 trillion, up 6.5 percent year over year.

GS Retail Co., Ltd. was named a second-choice retail pick by Eugene Investment & Securities on October 20, 2026, as the firm said third-quarter earnings expectations for convenience stores could fall slightly short. The report puts the company between improving supermarket trends and softer convenience-store traffic.
Retail outlook turns selective
According to Edaily, Eugene Investment & Securities ranked GS Retail second in its retail selection and linked the sector outlook to year-end holiday sales and semiconductor bonus income. The same report said convenience stores faced a high comparison base from last year's consumption coupons, while supermarkets showed relatively better conditions.
Three dated signals for GS Retail
The sequence began on October 2, 2026, when Edaily reported that NH Investment & Securities maintained a KRW 34,000 target and projected third-quarter revenue of KRW 3.3406 trillion. On October 7, 2026, DB Securities kept a KRW 35,000 target and forecast operating profit of KRW 115.6 billion, according to The Asia Business Daily. On October 20, 2026, Eugene placed GS Retail second in a three-part retail ranking, while highlighting the split between supermarkets and convenience stores.
What does the KRW 35,000 target imply?
The target is 64.71 percent above GS Retail's KRW 21,250 price quoted at 9:34 a.m. KST on October 20, 2026. DB Securities tied its view to a second consecutive quarter of double-digit supermarket sales growth and the normalization of the development business, while its forecast placed operating profit at KRW 115.6 billion in the third quarter.
Next reporting date
GS Retail's next earnings report is scheduled for November 5, 2026, according to Investing.com. That release will test whether the supermarket contribution can offset the convenience-store comparison base described in the October research.

GS Retail reported second-quarter 2026 revenue of KRW 3.18 trillion, up 6.5 percent year over year, and operating profit of KRW 109 billion, according to ATS View.
