A KRW 1.60 million target for SK Square (ISIN KR7402340004) was set by BNK Investment and Securities on October 14, 2026. The target followed expectations that stronger shareholder returns at SK Hynix could lift the value of its intermediate holding company, according to Financial News.

Three target changes since July

BNK Investment and Securities had a KRW 1.80 million target on July 10, 2026, according to Newspim. On October 7, DB Financial Investment raised its target from KRW 1.45 million to KRW 1.50 million while maintaining a Buy rating, as Asia Business Daily reported.

What does the target mean for returns?

DB Financial Investment said SK Square had announced a KRW 310.00 billion shareholder-return plan for 2026, including KRW 204.30 billion in dividends and KRW 110.00 billion in share buybacks and cancellations, according to Asia Business Daily. The same report said SK Square was converting KRW 5.90 trillion of capital surplus into retained earnings, a move intended to support future distributions.

The second quarter of 2026 produced revenue of KRW 328.50 billion, while reported earnings reached KRW 18.68 trillion, figures shown by the company coverage on Yahoo Finance.
