Q226E OP to beat consensus by 15% jaehyung.choi@ubs.com

+82-2-3702 8172

We expect HDS to deliver Q2 OP (expected in early Aug) of Won97bn, 15% above

consensus. Dept store SSSG should grow 16%, driven by continued strength in foreign Ju Seong Lee

tourist spending. Despite the seasonal property tax burden of Won50bn, we expect Analyst

fashion products. Duty free earnings should improve further from Q126 on solid

inbound demand, while Zinus is expected to narrow its loss to around Won20bn,

reflecting sequential improvement from the previous quarter.

Valuation: trading at 11.4x 2027E PE, in line with historical peak

We raise our 2026/27E OP by 6%/14% reflecting faster-than-expected dept store SSSG

(we estimate 2026/27 SSSG at 13%/11%) and duty free / Zinus earnings recovery. We

raise our PT from Won143k to Won275k based on a 16x target P/E (the avg 2025-26

trading multiple of the Japan big 3 dept stores; previously 11x), and roll forward our

valuation base to 2027E from 2026E-27E avg.
