We maintain our Buy rating and lower TP to KRW270,000 (from KRW300,000) for HD

Hyundai Marine Solution (HMS). We derive our TP by applying a target P/E of 31.5x Implied upside +31.1%

(global peer consensus average 2026E P/E; Fig. 9 ; previously 36.2x) to KRW8,661

(2028F EPS of KRW10,745 discounted for two years at a two-year CoE of 19.4%; Market Cap (USD mn) 6,287.2

previously: KRW8,373). The stock currently trades at a 2026F P/E of 25.3x (EPS: ADT (USD mn) 37.3

KRW8,147).

Relative performance chartWe reaffirm Buy as HMS’ fundamentals remain solid, with sustained growth and

favorable shareholder returns. It remains our preferred stock in the Korea shipbuilding

sector, as we believe its current valuation is reasonable compared with shipbuilding

peers and its earnings growth is likely to remain solid despite headwinds in the

newbuilding market. We believe the AI theme is also adding momentum to the stock

price, following HHI’s engine capacity expansion announcement which we have not yet

factored into our earnings.
