LG Electronics has recovered the psychologically significant 200,000-won level, driven by expectations of benefits from AI infrastructure and projections of improved second-quarter earnings.

During the morning session on the 8th, LG Electronics' stock price reached 202,500 won, up 13,400 won (7.09%) from the previous trading day. Following the market open, an influx of buying pushed the shares as high as 206,500 won at one point, with trading volume exceeding 1.4 million shares.

The market analyzes that the stock's rally has been driven by expectations that second-quarter earnings will exceed market consensus, along with anticipation of business expansion related to AI data centers.

The securities industry is closely watching the company's expanding B2B (business-to-business) business proportion, which represents a shift away from its traditional consumer appliance-centric structure. The HVAC business is emerging as a new growth engine due to rising demand for thermal management driven by AI data center expansion, while the robotics and automotive components businesses are also being evaluated as mid- to long-term growth drivers.

Reflecting the anticipated benefits of expanding AI infrastructure investments, securities firms have successively raised their target prices for LG Electronics to the 240,000 to 260,000 won range, noting that there is still room for further improvements in earnings and corporate value.

Key variables for the future stock price include the expansion of AI-related orders, the growth pace of cooling solutions, and the earnings contribution from the robotics business. However, given the significant short-term gains, whether earnings and new order wins meet expectations is expected to determine the sustainability of the upward trend.
