Samsung SDI stock (ISIN US7960542030) was trading at KRW 570,000 on KRX on October 8, 2026, up 1.42 percent, as DS Investment & Securities raised its target from KRW 840,000 to KRW 940,000. The revised view puts fourth-quarter orders and energy storage systems at the center of the investment case.

DS raises the target to KRW 940,000

According to Edaily on October 8, 2026, DS Investment & Securities kept its Buy rating and lifted the Samsung SDI target by 11.9 percent. The analyst expects a series of fourth-quarter order announcements, including additional North American ESS discussions and European prismatic battery projects.

DS projected full-year revenue of KRW 16 trillion, up 20.9 percent year over year, and operating profit of KRW 530.3 billion. The forecast includes a return to battery-division profitability excluding the Advanced Manufacturing Production Tax Credit, while ESS revenue is expected to increase by 50 to 60 percent, according to Edaily.

Q2 revenue rose 18.5 percent

Samsung SDI reported Q2 2026 revenue of KRW 3.77 trillion, up 18.5 percent from the year-earlier quarter, while operating profit reached KRW 204 billion. The figures and the 5.4 percent operating margin are listed by ATS View from company filings.

The comparison with Q1 2026 is significant for the earnings story: revenue increased from KRW 3.58 trillion, while operating profit moved from a KRW 156 billion loss to a KRW 204 billion profit. That shift makes the next quarterly report more important than the revenue growth rate alone.
