SK IE Technology's Operating Losses Could Persist Through 2027 -- Market Talk

Dow Jones10-22

0028 GMT - SK IE Technology's operating losses could persist through 2027 on slower-than-expected revenue growth, Daiwa Capital analysts Henny Jung and Yoonki Bae write in a note. The South Korean lithium-battery separator supplier is facing persistent risks from a slowdown in U.S. electric-vehicle demand, the Daiwa analysts say. They drop their earlier forecast for a profit turnaround for the company in 2027. Still, they view tighter U.S. "prohibited foreign entity" restrictions targeting Chinese suppliers and more U.S. orders from non-PFE suppliers as potential share-price catalysts for the company. Daiwa keeps a hold rating on the stock but raises its target price by 43% to KRW33,000. Shares are 0.8% lower at KRW32,900. (kwanwoo.jun@wsj.com)
