Posco Holdings Inc (PKX) is not a strong buy at the moment for a beginner investor with a long-term focus. While the technical indicators show bullish momentum, the company's financial performance is weak, with significant declines in revenue, net income, and EPS. Additionally, analyst sentiment is neutral to slightly negative, and there are no recent positive news catalysts or significant trading trends. Given the lack of strong positive drivers and the gradual recovery in core steel earnings, it is better to hold off on buying this stock for now.
The technical indicators show a bullish trend with moving averages in alignment (SMA_5 > SMA_20 > SMA_200), a positive MACD histogram of 0.302, and RSI_6 at 68.631 in the neutral zone. The stock is trading near its first resistance level (R1: 70.383), suggesting limited immediate upside potential.
Bullish technical indicators and potential investor interest due to lithium exposure.
Weak financial performance with significant YoY declines in revenue (-8.71%), net income (-50%), and EPS (-53.33%). Analyst downgrade by Morgan Stanley citing gradual recovery in core steel earnings and limited upside potential.
In Q4 2025, Posco's revenue dropped by 8.71% YoY to $11.63 billion, net income fell by 50% YoY to -$153.29 million, and EPS declined by 53.33% YoY to -1.89. Gross margin improved slightly to 6.11%, up 0.49% YoY.
Morgan Stanley downgraded Posco to Equal Weight from Overweight, raising the price target to KRW 380,000 from KRW 360,000. Analysts cite gradual recovery in core steel earnings and limited upside potential despite rising lithium prices.
