In the third quarter of this year, POSCO Chemical recorded 505 billion won in sales and 31.5 billion won in operating profit. This is an increase of 30% and 62%, compared to the same period last year.
"POSCO Chemical recorded good sales due to improved sales due to rising metal prices," KB Securities said. "Negative materials have been more affected by semiconductor shortages due to a variety of models that can be applied than anode materials.".
"POSCO Chemical's performance in 2022 will be 2.284 trillion won in sales and 176.7 billion won in operating profit, which will be higher than this year," KB Securities said. "The supply of semiconductors for vehicles is expected to be normalized from the second quarter of next year.".
KB Securities added, "In the case of the secondary battery value chain, the stock price trend is more sensitive to the performance of orders from a mid- to long-term perspective than short-term performance.".
