Hyosung stock was trading at KRW 153,600 on the Korea Exchange KOSPI on October 7, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. KST, down 2.60 percent from the previous close. The move puts the conglomerate's current market value at KRW 2.6 trillion, while its latest quarterly figures show a sharp improvement in profitability.

Quarterly profit accelerates

According to Hyosung Corporation in its investor-relations overview for Q2 2026, revenue reached KRW 733.6 billion, up 21.9 percent year over year. Operating profit rose to KRW 231.6 billion, while the operating margin reached 31.6 percent.

The margin is the key change for investors. Hyosung's Q1 2026 revenue was KRW 530.2 billion and operating profit was KRW 83.4 billion, so the second quarter delivered higher revenue and a materially stronger operating result on a quarter-over-quarter basis, according to Hyosung Corporation.

Analysts see upside

Investing.com lists a Strong Buy consensus based on 2 analysts and an average 12-month price target of KRW 192,500. Against the KRW 153,600 share price on October 7, 2026, that target lies 25.3 percent above the price.

Yahoo Finance displays a target range of KRW 185,000 to KRW 200,000, with KRW 192,500 as the average. The spread shows that the consensus remains positive, but the number of covering analysts is small, making each estimate influential.

Shares remain below yearly high

Hyosung stock traded between KRW 153,600 and KRW 159,200 during the October 7, 2026 session, with volume at 13,027 shares at the quoted time. Its 52-week range is KRW 86,000 to KRW 318,000, leaving the latest price 51.7 percent below the yearly high.

The market is weighing two different signals: a 2.60 percent intraday decline and Q2 operating profit of KRW 231.6 billion. The earnings improvement gives the stock a stronger fundamental base, while the distance from the 52-week high shows that investors are still applying a wide valuation range to the conglomerate.
