[THE INVESTOR] Samsung SDI will improve this year as it secures profitability in energy saving systems and small batteries, said Kiwoom Securities on May 21, maintaining a “buy” recommendation and 250,000 won (US$231.10) target price.




It will maintain its market dominance in small polymer sector while regaining profitability in leading non-IT markets like circular polymer sector, said analyst Kim Ji-san, adding that it is also heading the global ESS market with over 30 percent share. 

Strong performance in the ESS market will offset losses from EV batteries. As the number of EV projects in Europe grows, cost-effectiveness will improve through supplying third-generation batteries. Electronic materials will enjoy a booming market while polarized films will overcome the slow LCD industry. Meanwhile profits from its stake in Samsung Display will improve dramatically in the latter half, Kim said.
