HD Construction Equipment stock falls 4.81 percent as Q2 profit grows

HD Construction Equipment (ISIN KR7267270007) was trading at KRW 112,800 on the Korea Exchange at 11:49 a.m. KST on October 7, 2026, down 4.81 percent from the prior close. The company paired that market move with a sharp second-quarter earnings improvement, with revenue reaching KRW 2.43 trillion, up 151.5 percent year over year, according to ATS View.

Q2 revenue reaches KRW 2.43 trillion

HD Construction Equipment reported second-quarter 2026 operating profit of KRW 248.9 billion and net income of KRW 180.7 billion. The operating margin was 10.2 percent, compared with 8.3 percent in the first quarter, while first-quarter operating profit was KRW 190.7 billion, according to ATS View.

The earnings profile is important because the latest quarter combined higher sales with stronger operating leverage. The figures also give the October share-price decline a different context: the market reaction has been negative even as the most recent reported quarter showed year-over-year growth in both revenue and operating profit.

Engine expansion adds a second growth axis

HD Construction Equipment is also building its engine business around a new production facility in Gunsan. MoneyToday reported on September 30, 2026, that the plant had completed mechanical construction and begun pilot production.

The facility is expected to generate KRW 330.1 billion in revenue in 2028 and KRW 552.9 billion in 2030. Engine-business operating margin reached 15.3 percent in the second quarter, up from 14.3 percent in the prior year, giving investors a measurable profitability benchmark alongside the core construction-equipment business.

Consensus target remains above the market

Analyst expectations remain materially higher than the current quotation. A MarketScreener consensus published with six analysts carries a Buy rating and an average target price of KRW 193,166.67.

The current price is also positioned well below the 52-week high of KRW 217,500, while the 52-week low is KRW 85,800. Market capitalization stood at KRW 5.4 trillion on October 7, 2026, and volume was 207,853 shares during the reported session.
