Hansol Chemical (KR7014680003) was trading at KRW 246,000.00 on KRX on September 29, 2026, up 3.80 percent from the prior close of KRW 237,000.00. The move followed a September 18 analyst update that kept a Buy rating but reduced the target price from KRW 410,000.00 to KRW 325,000.00.

Target price resets to KRW 325,000

According to EDAILY on September 18, 2026, Hyundai Motor Securities lowered its target by 26.20 percent while maintaining its Buy rating. The brokerage reduced the valuation multiple applied to Hansol Chemical to 16.7 times earnings, citing the average for domestic and international semiconductor materials companies.

The new target remains above the September 17 closing price of KRW 215,000.00 used in the analyst report. That reference matters because the target cut reflects valuation discipline, while the operating thesis still depends on higher hydrogen peroxide supply and growth in semiconductor precursors.

Second-quarter revenue rises 11.50 percent

Hansol Chemical reported second-quarter revenue of KRW 247.5 billion, up 11.50 percent year over year, while operating profit rose 1.80 percent to KRW 49.8 billion, according to EDAILY. Versus the first quarter, revenue increased 6.80 percent and operating profit advanced 12.00 percent, matching market consensus and the brokerage estimate.

The company plans to expand hydrogen peroxide production capacity by 25.00 percent. The analyst report said new customer fabs and higher demand for precursor materials could support revenue from the second half of 2027, while High-K materials could add customers after foundational patents expire in the second half of 2026.

Stock trades below yearly high

Hansol Chemical's September 29 session range was KRW 237,000.00 to KRW 250,000.00, with volume of 35,611 shares at the quoted time. The 52-week range was KRW 175,000.00 to KRW 346,500.00, placing the latest price below the yearly high while the market capitalization stood at KRW 2.8 trillion.
