As the economic recovery becomes visible in the first quarter of this year, the performance of listed companies in the securities market is expected to improve significantly.

According to F&Guide, a financial information company, the consolidated operating profit estimate of 106 listed companies on the securities market, for which three or more securities firms presented earnings forecasts, was tentatively compiled to KRW 36 trillion.

This is an increase of 75.6% compared to the first quarter of last year, which was hit by the spread of Corona 19, of KRW 20,54.9 billion.

The estimated net income of 106 companies for the first quarter was KRW 26,661.5 billion, a 95.1% increase from the same period last year, and sales estimates increased by 7.2% to KRW 352.36 trillion.

Samsung Electronics’ 1Q operating profit forecast is KRW 8,693.1 billion, up 34.8% from the first quarter of last year, and SK Hynix’s 1st quarter is KRW 1.286 trillion, up 60.7%.

In particular, Kiwoom Securities 2,424.6%, Shinsegae 2,59.6%, and Samsung Securities 971.3% are in the order of the highest forecasts for operating profit growth.

Among the companies that made a loss in the first quarter of last year, LG Display, Lotte Chemical, Hyundai Steel, and SK Innovation are expected to turn to the black.

On the other hand, companies that are expected to see a decrease in operating profit are Korea Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering -58.1%, Hyundai Mipo Shipbuilding -57.1%, and GS Retail -46.3%.

Although companies are showing achievements in overcoming the aftereffects of Corona 19, households’ overcoming Corona 19 remains a task, such as banks’ household loans exceeding KRW 1,000 trillion.
