LG Electronics Set to Stage Strong Earnings Rebound in 1Q -- Market Talk

Dow Jones03-23

2350 GMT - LG Electronics is set to stage a strong earnings rebound in 1Q, HSBC's Ricky Seo writes in a research note. The South Korean consumer electronics giant is likely to see narrower losses in its TV business and solid margins from its auto-component unit, supported by steady infotainment and e-powertrain shipments in the January-March period, the analyst says. A potential turnaround to profit at its flat-panel affiliate is also expected to support its bottom line, he adds. HSBC expects LG to post a 1.6 trillion won operating profit in 1Q after an estimated 109 billion won loss in 4Q 2025, and to stay on track for full recovery in 2026. (kwanwoo.jun@wsj.com)
