Hana Securities has reiterated its 'Buy' recommendation for RF Materials, projecting sustained earnings growth for the company. The brokerage firm believes the stock is currently undervalued when benchmarked against its global peers, suggesting a potential for future appreciation.
Despite the positive outlook on earnings, Hana Securities has revised its target price for RF Materials. The new target is set at 75,000 won, a reduction from the previous 150,000 won. This adjustment accounts for a free share split, a corporate action that increases the number of outstanding shares without changing the company's overall market capitalization.
