The analyst expects the share of higher-end LNG and LPG carriers in the total shipbuilding lineup to expand through 2029 at the South Korean holding company's unlisted local subsidiary HD Hyundai Samho, which posted an industry-leading operating profit margin of 22.5% in 2Q. Lee is also positive about brisk contract wins by the holding company's affiliated overseas shipyards in the Philippines and Vietnam to build tankers. LS maintains a buy rating and 440,000-won target price on the stock. Shares closed 1.4% lower at 346,500 won.
