[Featured Stock] 'Trading Resumption' Hanwha Aerospace Up 3.33%

Hanwha Aerospace, which had its trading suspended for a month due to a spin-off, is on the rise following the resumption of trading. As of 9:19 AM on the 27th, Hanwha Aerospace was trading at 310,000 KRW, up 10,000 KRW (3.33%) from the previous trading day.

On this day, Korea Investment & Securities maintained a buy rating and a target price of 380,000 KRW for Hanwha Aerospace, stating, "Since the defense sector has driven the increase in the company's existing value, the investment attractiveness remains regardless of the spin-off of non-defense subsidiaries."

Jang Nam-hyun, a researcher at Korea Investment & Securities, said, "Performance will improve in both scale and profitability as export business revenue is recognized. The overseas sales ratio within the ground defense sector is expected to grow by 22.8 percentage points from last year to 59.6% in 2026," adding, "The operating profit margin in 2026 is expected to improve by 4 percentage points compared to last year."

He also stated, "The order backlog will continue to grow. After the localization of power packs for the K9 and Redback is completed next year, exports to the Middle East will expand," adding, "Considering only the replacement demand from Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), the company will access a self-propelled artillery market worth over 1 trillion KRW and an armored vehicle market worth 19 trillion KRW."
