Korea Zinc won a KRW 830 billion shareholder lawsuit on October 22, 2026, while Shinhan Investment set a KRW 1.5 million target for Korea Zinc stock on October 21, 2026. Chosun reported that the Seoul Central District Court dismissed claims brought against Chairman Choi Yun-beom and nine other directors. MarketScreener identified the analyst action and dated it October 21, 2026.

What does the KRW 1.5 million target imply?

The target stands above the KRX closing price of KRW 854,000 on October 23, 2026, but the comparison is a valuation signal rather than a forecast from this article. Korea Zinc's market capitalization was KRW 17.4 trillion on that date, while its 52-week range stood at KRW 839,000.00 to KRW 2,188,000.00. The stock therefore remained much nearer its yearly low than its yearly high when the last completed Seoul session ended.

Three decisions shaped the dispute

On October 18, 2026, Hanwha set a KRW 1.4 million target for Korea Zinc, according to MarketScreener. On October 21, 2026, Shinhan Investment adjusted its target to KRW 1.5 million. On October 22, 2026, the court dismissed the KRW 830 billion damages claim, with the ruling covering 10 directors, as reported by The Herald Business.

Results date points to November

TradingView lists November 17, 2026, as Korea Zinc's next earnings date. That date gives investors a concrete checkpoint for judging whether the legal resolution and the analyst targets are being matched by operating performance.

Stock remains tied to the legal overhang

The October 22 ruling supports the board's defense of its self-tender decision, but the plaintiffs said they would appeal. The legal dispute began with the 2024 management-control battle, and the latest judgment keeps capital allocation and shareholder value at the center of the stock story. Korea Zinc closed at KRW 854,000 on the KRX on October 23, 2026.
