Friday 30 October closes Korea’s busiest results week with Kia and Hyundai Mobis, according to the calendar The Asia Business Daily published on 25 October. Here is every company report on the two in our broker list for the month to 23 October, the same record as our target-change tape.
Kia: two reports, two directions
| Date | Broker | Rating | Prior target (won) | Target (won) | Title, in short |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 8 Oct | Hanwha | Buy | 135,000 | 260,000 | volume growth turns into profit growth |
| 15 Oct | LS | Buy | 200,000 | 165,000 | fought well, but a disappointing Q3 |
The two targets are 95,000 won apart. The higher one is 58% above the lower.
Hyundai Mobis: two cuts, one raise
| Date | Broker | Rating | Prior target (won) | Target (won) | Title, in short |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 7 Oct | Meritz | Buy | 900,000 | 750,000 | results open the door, robots walk in |
| 13 Oct | Hanwha | Buy | 360,000 | 800,000 | unfavourable macro persists, structural margin gains too |
| 15 Oct | LS | Buy | 750,000 | 570,000 | a solid core business, seen as defensive |
Mobis’s three targets run from 570,000 to 800,000 won. LS cut by 24%, the deepest cut on any of Friday’s four reporters.
The rest of Friday
| Company | Reports | What happened to the target |
|---|---|---|
| Hyundai E&C | 2 | both unchanged (175,000 LS; 205,000 Yuanta) |
| APR | 2 | SK cut 560,000 → 480,000; Sangsangin 560,000, no prior listed |
Across Friday’s four companies: nine reports, four cuts, two raises, two unchanged and one with no prior target listed. Both raises came from Hanwha, and both from priors far below the other brokers’ targets. The list does not show when those priors were set, so the size of the raise may span more than one quarter.
Every one of the nine was rated Buy. Over the same month, cuts outnumbered raises across all company reports, 69 to 62 (what the week’s 28 reporters drew).
Two or three reports per company is a small sample. These are published targets, not forecasts, and this is not a view on either company.
