DAISHIN SECURITIES raised the target price for YG Entertainment to 80,000 won. This comes as the company’s fourth-quarter performance exceeded market expectations. The investment recommendation remains "buy."

According to DAISHIN SECURITIES on the 24th, YG Entertainment's revenue for the fourth quarter of last year was 104.1 billion won, a decrease of 4.8% compared to the same period last year, but the operating profit turned to a profit of 1.1 billion won.

Lim Soo-jin, a researcher at DAISHIN SECURITIES, said, "As seen in last year’s fourth-quarter results, Baby Monster's revenue is showing a rapid improvement," adding, "The world tour has continued to sell out."

The researcher continued, "With BLACKPINK's world tour alone, the combined operating profit for 2025-2026 is expected to greatly exceed market expectations," noting, "We maintain our preferred stocks within the sector."
