Morgan Stanley upgraded Pohang Steel's rating to an increase, saying that news related to steel production cuts in relevant countries and anti-dumping measures provided a more “sustainable” path for the company's profit and recovery prospects. Previously, the rating was flat; at the same time, it raised the target price by 46% to 410,000 won. Analysts, including Young Suk Shin, wrote in a report: “We expect Pohang Steel's annual operating profit from the second half of 2025 to 2026 to recover steadily, supporting its share price revaluation.” “The worst period for Pohang Steel's steel business is probably over. The company is expected to be the main beneficiary of the improved supply and demand pattern and improved price prospects in the region.”
