We reaffirm Buy on Hanwha Aerospace (HA) and lower our TP to KRW1,400,000 (from

KRW1,600,000), based on an unchanged SOTP valuation (Fig.10). We derive HA’s Implied upside +52.7%

operating value of KRW72.7tn (previously: KRW80.9tn) by multiplying a P/E of 31.9x

(2026E global peers’ consensus average; previously Asia average of 39.7x) with our Market Cap (USD mn) 33,072.2

12MF adjusted NP of KRW2.2tn (previously: KRW2.1tn), which excludes the earnings of ADT (USD mn) 163.4

Hanwha Systems (HS; 272210 KS, Neutral) and Hanwha Ocean (HO; 042660 KS,

Reduce). We assume a 70% (unchanged) discount for the ownership value of its Relative performance chart

subsidiaries.

HA’s stock price has corrected -43.1% vs. this year’s peak price on 7 April (vs. KOSPI

+9.7%), owing to: 1) retail investors focusing more on the semi sector, 2) continued

Middle East conflict delaying new orders, and 3) an explosion in HA’s Daejeon R&D

facility. HA currently trades at a 2026F P/E of 19.1x (EPS: KRW48,065, standalone P/E

24.5x).

We see the strong new orders momentum in 2H26F as an upside catalyst. We await

KRW16tn of overseas new orders in 2H26F. The Saudi term-sheet contract can add

additional KRW20tn of new orders in the-long term. A downside risk is delays in new

orders from the Middle East due to the conflict in the region.
