Hanil Cement stock (ISIN KR7300720000) is supported by Q2 2026 operating profit of KRW 61.6 billion, compared with KRW 17.0 billion in Q1. The company also traded at KRW 16,250 on the Korea Exchange on October 7, 2026, up 1.56 percent during the session.

Q2 margin improves sharply

According to ATS View, Hanil Cement generated Q2 2026 revenue of KRW 371 billion, down 9.0 percent year over year. Operating profit reached KRW 61.6 billion, producing a 16.6 percent margin, while net income was KRW 48.4 billion.

The quarter-on-quarter comparison is more favorable: revenue increased from KRW 293 billion in Q1 2026, while operating profit rose from KRW 17.0 billion and the operating margin expanded from 5.8 percent. That combination points to improved profitability despite weaker top-line demand.

Analyst target moves higher

Hyundai Motor Securities initiated coverage with a Buy rating and a KRW 20,000 price target on September 7, 2026, according to Newspim. The target rose from KRW 19,000, a 5.3 percent increase, while the latest KRW 20,000 target stood 23.1 percent above the October 7 price.

The research cited cement shipment estimates of negative 4.9 percent year over year for Q2 2026, after positive 14.7 percent growth in Q1. Its thesis depends on a gradual recovery in housing presales and construction starts, with full-year shipments estimated to increase 4.4 percent.

Stock remains below yearly high

Hanil Cement stock traded between KRW 12,710 and KRW 20,750 over the latest 52-week period. The October 7 price therefore sat KRW 4,500 below the yearly high and KRW 3,540 above the low, leaving operating performance and construction demand as the central variables for the shares.

Market capitalization stood at KRW 1.2 trillion as of October 7, 2026, while volume reached 28,521 shares. The stock's 1.56 percent session gain gives the latest quarterly margin improvement a visible market backdrop, but the 9.0 percent revenue decline keeps the recovery case dependent on demand.
