Lotte Shopping stock fell 1.20 percent as target stays at KRW 200,000

Lotte Shopping (ISIN KR7023530009) was trading at KRW 98,800 on the KOSPI on October 7, 2026, down 1.20 percent from the previous close. The immediate market reference is the latest Hanwha Investment & Securities report, which kept its KRW 200,000 target and Buy rating on the same date, according to Nate.

Target stays above KRW 200,000

Hanwha projected Q3 2026 operating profit of KRW 195 billion, up 49 percent year over year and above its KRW 181.4 billion consensus estimate, according to Nate. The report estimated department-store operating profit at KRW 129 billion, up 55 percent, while discount-store operating profit was projected at KRW 29 billion, up 152 percent.

The KRW 200,000 target is 102.4 percent above the October 7 trading price of KRW 98,800. Hanwha therefore sits above the six-month average target of KRW 181,000, which was 10.5 percent below its own target, according to Nate.

Second quarter profit accelerates

Lotte Shopping's Q2 2026 revenue rose 4.0 percent year over year to KRW 3,485 billion, while operating profit surged 121.2 percent to KRW 90 billion, according to Quartr. Net profit attributable to controlling interests reached KRW 125.4 billion, and basic earnings per share stood at KRW 4,434.

For the first half of 2026, consolidated revenue was KRW 7,066.6 billion and operating profit was KRW 342.8 billion, according to Quartr. The mix matters because department stores, hypermarkets and electronics accounted for more than 80 percent of first-half sales, leaving the margin recovery tied to the performance of Lotte Shopping's core retail channels.

Stock remains near yearly low

The October 7 trading range was KRW 98,600 to KRW 101,200, with volume at 22,059 shares. The 52-week range was KRW 62,700 to KRW 211,000, placing the latest price 53.2 percent below the yearly high.

A broader consensus compiled by StockHub covered 10 target prices, with a median of KRW 195,000, a high of KRW 240,000 and a low of KRW 150,000, according to StockHub. The median target was 97.4 percent above the October 7 price, while the spread between the high and low targets shows that analyst assumptions remain wide.

Market value and trading level

Lotte Shopping's market capitalization was KRW 2.8 trillion on October 7, 2026. The combination of stronger Q2 profit growth and a share price near the lower half of its 52-week range leaves execution in department stores and discount retail as the central valuation test.
