K-Pop Stocks' Risk-Reward Profiles Turning More Favorable

Dow Jones08-27 14:39

0639 GMT - South Korean entertainment companies' stock risk-reward profiles are becoming more favorable to HSBC Global Investment Research's Junhyun Kim as earnings could improve next year. The stocks of the three major Korean pop companies--HYBE, SM Entertainment and JYP Entertainment--declined over 40% year to date on slower earnings growth and the lack of visible catalysts after boy band BTS's March comeback, leading to contraction in the stocks' valuations, the analyst says in a note. However, he expects the three companies' 2027 EPS to grow an average of 19% compared with a single digit percentage growth estimate in 2026, amid improved monetization from rookie band intellectual properties. HSBC maintains its buy ratings on the three companies with HYBE as its top sector pick.
