[THE INVESTOR] Samsung SDI’s earnings in the second quarter will be strong, said Hana Financial Investment on June 19, maintaining a “buy” recommendation and raising the target price to 280,000 won (US$253.28) from 250,000 won.




Its revenue in the period will surge 54 percent on-year to 2.2 trillion won and operating profit will skyrocket 2238 percent to 128 billion won. Its small battery sector is maintaining high operating margins on the back of revenue hike following the launch of Samsung’s Galaxy S9 and exclusive supply of polymer batteries to its largest client. Medium and large batteries will show sharp growth in operating margins as its commercial energy savings systems remain strong while electronics material unit will continue to advance steadily, said analyst Kim Hyeon-su. 

Market evaluation of its larger battery business has been mixed but the recent IPO of China’s leading battery maker CATL and rallying stock price is elevating the sector’s value, added the analyst.
