d'Alba Global was up more than 9% early on the 7th. Buying is seen as flocking after expectations emerged that the company will post strong first-quarter results this year on the back of overseas sales.
As of 9:53 a.m. on the 7th, d'Alba Global was trading at 165,700 won on the Korea Exchange, up 14,000 won (9.23%) from the previous session.
Shinhan Investment & Securities projected d'Alba Global's first-quarter 2026 consolidation basis revenue at 179.5 billion won and operating profit at 43.1 billion won, up 58% and 43%, respectively, from a year earlier. It expected domestic revenue to grow 15%, while overseas revenue would grow 91%.
Park Hyun-jin, an analyst at Shinhan Investment & Securities, said, "Given the strong ranking of distribution channels in the West, results are expected to exceed the company's guidance." Park especially expected revenue growth in North America, Europe, and ASEAN to have driven companywide performance growth.
Kwon Woo-jung, an analyst at Kyobo Securities, said, "From the second quarter of this year, reorders from ULTA Beauty in the United States are set to begin in earnest, and considering an expansion of SKUs (stock keeping units), meaningful offline expansion is expected in North America and Europe," adding, "The current share price is at 13.9 times 12-month forward price-earnings ratio (PER), which we view as undervalued compared with standout overseas performance."
