As Samsung Electronics is soaring to a record high in the stock market, investors are wondering whether the tech giant would reach 2 million won. Samsung Electronics closed at record-high 1,675,000 won, Friday, up 2.13 percent from the previous day. John Soh, an analyst at Shinhan Financial Investment, pulled up the target price of Samsung Electronics to 2 million won from 1.85 million won, citing competitiveness of memory chips and OLEDs, strong sales of Galaxy Note 7 and emerging future growth engines. He noted that Samsung Electronics is nurturing its future growth engines through M&As. “Samsung Electronics strengthened its potential in IoT and fintech by acquiring IoT platform company SmartThings and mobile payment service Loop Pay in 2014 as well as cloud service Joyent in 2016,” the analyst said. “Its competitive edge in home electronics will be strengthened through acquisition of Dacor, following acquisition of Quietside in 2014.” The handset maker’s Galaxy Note 7 is earning acclaim for incorporating top technologies, with innovative features such as iris-scanning and water resistance. Analysts expect Galaxy Note 7 to surpass Galaxy Note 5 in sales. Soh estimated the company’s operating profit to record 31.7 trillion won this year, up 20.1 percent from the previous year. The company’s sales have been stagnant for three years since 2013 when they stood at 228 trillion won, but growth in sales will be visible in 2017, according to the analyst. “With strong sales of Galaxy Note 7 and improving performance in memory chips and display, its share prices are expected to rise.” He added that the availability of foldable OLEDs in 2017 will shed light on Samsung’s innovative hardware technology. “It has no reason to be undervalued compared with other global IT giants.” Uh Kyu-jin, an analyst at eBest Securities, also expects Samsung Electronics to reach 2 million won. While the stock price has risen steeply already, he continued recommending buying the share. “Its profitability is continuing to improve thanks to bullish sales of the handsets, and it has much stronger leadership in new technology, such as 3D NAND and flexible OLEDs. The company will reach differentiated profitability.” The rise of Samsung Electronics is pushing up the KOSPI, but analysts advise investors to note that KOSPI isn’t as bullish as it looks when excluding the Samsung Electronics effect. “Samsung Electronics takes one-fifth of the market. Its effect on the index is absolutely huge,” said Kim Yong-gu, an analyst at Hana Financial Investment. He said when excluding Samsung, the KOSPI would be at around 2,000 points. According to Bloomberg, Samsung Electronics’ market cap stands at the world’s 24th as of Thursday. As the company rose over 30 percent so far this year, it surpassed Toyota Motor, the world’s 27th largest business, in terms of market cap. Toyota shed 19.8 percent in value this year as exports were damaged due to the soaring Japanese yen. Samsung Electronics, however, is still around one-third the market cap of Apple, the world’s top. Samsung sold 32 million more smartphones than Apple in the second quarter, widening the gap from 24 million a year ago. |
