Brokerage Lowers Outlook Amid Reduced Earnings Forecasts

KB Securities has cut its 12-month target price for Korea Aerospace Industries to 145,000 won, citing lowered earnings forecasts and valuation adjustments. Despite this, the brokerage maintained its Buy rating, citing KAI’s development of new export markets and the possibility of large orders in the fourth quarter. KAI’s third-quarter results beat market expectations, with consolidated revenue rising 51.6% and operating profit climbing 31.9%. The company’s export expansion and order momentum are expected to drive growth, with additional large contracts anticipated in the fourth quarter. This news was first reported by BigGo Finance.
