On July 2, Kangho Park, a researcher at Daishin Securities, stated, "1) Due to the impact of COVID-19, demand for electric vehicles in the European automotive market has increased, driven by infrastructure investments and subsidy policies focused on eco-friendly vehicles by various governments. 2) As the global economy recovers, profitability of cylindrical batteries is also expected to improve. 3) Based on a stable profit structure in electronic materials, sales growth in medium and large batteries (EV+ESS) and cylindrical batteries is expected to result in an operating profit (consolidated) of 917.8 billion KRW in 2021, a 72.8% (yoy) increase. The profit growth in Q3 2020 is expected to justify the high valuation," and set Samsung SDI's target price at 420,000 KRW.
