KCC stock falls 1.77 percent as analysts lift target price

KCC stock was last at KRW 471,500.00 on the Korea Exchange KOSPI on September 29, 2026, down 1.77 percent from the prior close of KRW 480,000.00. The latest analyst catalyst is a higher valuation for KCC's silicone business and its shareholder-return plans.

Analyst target rises to KRW 730,000.00

According to Edaily on September 22, 2026, NH Investment & Securities kept its Buy rating and raised the target price from KRW 680,000.00 to KRW 730,000.00, a 7.35 percent increase. The report attributed the revision to the value of KCC's Samsung C&T stake, planned treasury-stock cancellation and improving silicone profitability.

The same report projects a 5.00 percent operating margin for KCC's silicone division in the second half of 2026, up 4 percentage points from the prior-year period. That estimate gives the target-price revision a specific operating thesis rather than relying only on balance-sheet value.

Q2 revenue reaches KRW 1.81 trillion

KCC's second-quarter 2026 revenue was KRW 1.81 trillion, up 5.9 percent year over year, while operating profit reached KRW 129.0 billion with a 7.1 percent margin, according to ATS View. The prior quarter produced KRW 1.63 trillion in revenue and KRW 88.1 billion in operating profit, so the reported profit figure improved by KRW 40.9 billion sequentially.

For investors, the key connection is between the reported recovery and the analyst's silicone thesis. KCC operates across construction materials, coatings, glass and specialty chemicals, making the silicone division's margin a material swing factor for consolidated earnings.

KCC stock stays below its yearly high

The September 29, 2026, last price was KRW 220,500.00 below the 52-week high of KRW 692,000.00 and KRW 135,500.00 above the 52-week low of KRW 336,000.00. Market capitalization stood at KRW 3.5 trillion, and trading volume was 13,333 shares.
