HPSP (KR7403870009) is heading toward a higher analyst valuation after Samsung Securities raised its target from KRW 65,000 to KRW 75,000 on October 19, 2026. According to Asia Business Daily, the brokerage kept its Buy rating and expects third-quarter revenue of KRW 49.3 billion and operating profit of KRW 25.0 billion.

Samsung target shifts growth debate

The forecast implies revenue growth of 53.9 percent and operating-profit growth of 65.7 percent from the year-earlier quarter. The projected operating margin is 50.8 percent, keeping profitability central to the HPSP investment case.

Samsung Securities also raised its full-year operating-profit forecast to KRW 143.9 billion, representing growth of 60.0 percent, while its next-year estimate reached KRW 233.7 billion, up 62.5 percent. The report linked the revisions to expected order growth and stronger NAND-related sales.

What could lift 2026 earnings?

The opportunity is a broader customer mix. Samsung Securities said one additional customer for HPSP's 1d DRAM process could generate more than KRW 70.0 billion in annual revenue, equal to 17.0 percent of its next-year revenue estimate.

The counter-factor is timing. The same report said revenue recognition from a North American foundry customer had been delayed, while export exposure leaves the company sensitive to currency movements.

Three milestones shape HPSP

On August 14, 2026, HPSP reported second-quarter revenue of KRW 46.1 billion, net income of KRW 24.1 billion and earnings per share of KRW 296, according to Investing.com. On October 6, 2026, KB Securities raised its target from KRW 65,000 to KRW 85,000 and lifted its three-year operating-profit growth estimate from 36.0 percent to 47.0 percent, as reported by Gate US. The latest milestone was Samsung Securities' October 19 target increase to KRW 75,000.

Next reporting date

HPSP's next earnings date is listed as November 18, 2026, giving the third-quarter forecast a specific test point. The figures to watch are the KRW 49.3 billion revenue estimate and the 50.8 percent projected operating margin.
