Kangho Park of Daishin Securities said LG Display may face earnings pressure from a stronger won and rising input costs. The analyst cut his 2026 operating profit forecast for the South Korean flat-panel maker by about 25% and his 2027 forecast by 11%. Kangho noted that the dollar has weakened nearly 13% against the won since late June, weighing on the company's profitability. He said higher prices for semiconductors and other raw materials have pushed up information-technology equipment prices and damped demand. Still, he expects the company's earnings to gradually improve as organic light-emitting diode panel shipments likely increase. Daishin Securities lowered its target price for the stock to 12,000 won from 17,000 won, maintaining a buy rating. The stock fell 0.8% to close at 8,400 won.
