Korean Air Could Post Weaker 2026 Earnings -- Market Talk

Dow Jones04-14

0020 GMT - Korean Air Lines could post weaker-than-expected 2026 earnings despite a strong 1Q performance, say Samsung Securities' Kim Young-ho and Choi Seung-hwan. Higher jet-fuel costs amid the war in Iran and a weaker won against the U.S. dollar could erode the South Korean flag carrier's annual profit, the analysts write in a note. They expect Korean Air's operating profit to reach 906 billion won in 2026, 44% below their previous estimate and down 19% from a year earlier. They slash their earnings-per-share for Korean Air by 88% to 321 won this year. (kwanwoo.jun@wsj.com)
