0245 GMT - Posco Holdings' earnings are set to improve significantly in 2026, Nomura's Cindy Park and Dongmin Lee say. The South Korean steel giant's EBIT is projected to jump 73% this year, with its estimated net profit likely to more-than-double to 1.753 trillion won, the analysts reckon. They expect Posco's steel, battery-material, natural-gas and construction units to either return to profit or post improved profitability this year. Posco's earnings will likely be supported by Seoul's antidumping duties on low-priced steel imports from China and Japan, as well as by stabilized lithium prices amid strong demand for energy storage systems, they add.(kwanwoo.jun@wsj.com)
