POSCO ( (PKX) ) has provided an announcement.
On January 29, 2026, POSCO HOLDINGS disclosed provisional 2025 separate financial results for its main subsidiary POSCO, showing revenue of KRW 35.01 trillion, down 6.8% from 2024’s KRW 37.56 trillion. Despite the top-line decline, profitability improved, with operating profit rising 21.1% year-on-year to KRW 1.78 trillion, profit before income tax up 24.3% to KRW 1.43 trillion, and net profit increasing 26.7% to KRW 1.14 trillion. The figures, prepared under K-IFRS and still subject to completion of an independent auditors’ review, suggest that the steelmaker has strengthened its cost structure or product mix, enabling higher margins in a weaker revenue environment, an outcome likely to be viewed positively by investors focused on earnings resilience in a challenging steel market.
The most recent analyst rating on (PKX) stock is a Hold with a $63.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on POSCO stock, see the PKX Stock Forecast page.
Spark’s Take on PKX Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, PKX is a Neutral.
The score is driven primarily by mixed financial performance (declining profitability and negative free cash flow, offset by a stable balance sheet). Technicals are supportive with a clear uptrend, but momentum indicators look overbought. Valuation is the main drag due to the very high P/E, only partly offset by the dividend yield.
