0107 GMT - LG Electronics could post lower 4Q earnings on weak seasonal demand for home appliances and other consumer electronics goods, Daishin Securities analysts Kangho Park and Jiwon Seo write in a note. One-off costs for early retirement programs for employees also likely weighed on earnings for the October-December period, they say. Still, its consolidated operating-profit forecast of a KRW21 billion for 4Q, down 85% from a year earlier, would beat market expectations for an operating loss of KRW20 billion, they reckon. Strong earnings from electronics-component affiliate LG Innotek likely offset the parent's standalone losses, they say. Earnings at LG Electronics could rebound in 2026, they add.
