DL E&C stock was trading at KRW 73,400 on the KOSPI on October 7, 2026 at 10:34 a.m. KST, down KRW 600 or 0.81 percent from the prior close. The construction group is weighing a major Seoul redevelopment opportunity against a second-quarter revenue decline.

Seongsu project reaches a key stage

DL E&C was selected as the preferred bidder for Seongsu District 2, a redevelopment project with a construction cost of KRW 2.01 trillion. According to Seoul Economic Daily on September 30, the company was the sole bidder in both the contractor tender and the site briefing process.

The project would include buildings rising as high as 65 stories, and DL E&C has also signed a financial services agreement with 10 banks and brokerages for the redevelopment zone. The size of the project gives the bid greater financial relevance than a routine housing contract, although final execution remains tied to the redevelopment process.

Revenue falls while profit holds up

In the second quarter of 2026, DL E&C reported revenue of KRW 1.80 trillion, down 9.5 percent from a year earlier, while operating profit reached KRW 159.4 billion and net income KRW 129.7 billion. These figures were reported for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, by ATS View.

The contrast matters for investors: the top line contracted, but the quarterly operating margin was 8.8 percent. In the first quarter, revenue was KRW 1.73 trillion and operating profit was KRW 157.4 billion, so the second quarter delivered higher revenue and operating profit sequentially even as net income declined from KRW 160.1 billion.

Analyst targets remain above the stock

Consensus data compiled by StockHub as of September 21, 2026, covered 10 reports and showed an average target of KRW 104,700, a median of KRW 107,500, a high of KRW 121,000 and a low of KRW 80,000. The average target lies 42.6 percent above the October 7 price.

The latest named report came from Yuanta Securities, which carried a Buy view and a KRW 108,000 target on September 21, 2026. Hana Securities had previously raised its target from KRW 80,000 to KRW 100,000 on September 15, 2026, citing potential data-center and power-plant orders, according to Asia Business Daily.
