Korean EV battery and battery-materials stocks: analyst target prices and ratings

10 companies with research · 22 reports · 2026-06-29 to 2026-10-26 · close prices of 2026-10-23

Research on Korean battery makers is mostly published in Korean. We collect it and summarise it here in English: each firm's latest target price, the range and median across firms, and the gap to the latest close. Each name links to its own page with the report-by-report list. A sample of broker research, not advice.

Target prices, company by company

Ordered by how many firms stated a target, then by reports — depth of coverage, not a ranking. Swipe the table sideways for dates, close and gap.

For each firm we take only its most recent stated target, so a firm that wrote five times counts once. "Targets dated" gives the oldest and newest of those latest targets — a target written weeks ago can sit next to a recent close, and the gap below mixes both dates.

"Median target vs close" is the median of the firms' latest targets divided by the close on 2026-10-23, minus one. It is shown only when both numbers exist. It is a gap between what brokers wrote and what the market paid on one day — not an expected return. When only one firm stated a target, the "median" is that single firm's figure. "No target stated" means none of the reports in our sample carried a target price; it is not a zero. 8 of 10 companies have at least one stated target.

This is a record of what brokers published, not investment advice. It is a sample — the reports our collection picked up between 2026-06-29 and 2026-10-26, not every report written — and the range and median describe that sample, not a market consensus. These are statistics, not a verdict on any stock.

What counts as "battery" here

A company is included when the industry code on its record in the Korean regulator's company register (DART) starts with 282 — manufacture of batteries and accumulators, rechargeable or not. Several cathode-material makers file under this code too, so they appear here. The codes are the Korean Standard Industrial Classification (KSIC); the English names are our rendering of them.

One company is added by name: ECOPRO CO.,LTD (086520, marked *). Filed under KSIC 64992 (holding companies), but its business report filed with DART in March 2025 gives its battery-materials segment (cathode materials, through EcoPro BM) KRW 3,296.5bn of 2024 sales before intra-group eliminations, against KRW 234.5bn for its environment segment.

By this rule plus that one addition, 27 listed companies qualify. 10 of them have at least one report in our sample and are in the table above; the other 17 are listed below.

The rule misses companies with a battery or battery-materials business that file under a chemicals code. Examples with research in our sample whose filings report a battery or battery-materials segment, left out of the table: LG Chem (basic petrochemicals, KSIC 20111), Chunbo (basic chemicals, KSIC 201). We keep to the filed code rather than choosing companies by hand, so the list can be checked.

Matched the rule, no broker report in our sample

17 companies. No report in our sample is not the same as no research being written — it means our collection did not pick one up between 2026-06-29 and 2026-10-26.
