South Korean entertainment stocks climbed after HYBE disclosed plans for a large-scale global tour by K-pop group BTS, with brokerages raising price targets and forecasting a rebound in the company\u2019s earnings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HYBE shares closed up about 2% on Jan. 15, local time, according to exchange data released Jan. 16, while other major entertainment companies\u2014including YG Entertainment, JYP Entertainment and SM Entertainment\u2014also finished higher, reflecting improving investor sentiment across the sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rally followed HYBE\u2019s announcement that BTS will begin a world tour in April. The group is set to open with three concerts in Goyang, near Seoul, before embarking on a global schedule covering 34 cities and 79 performances, the largest tour ever mounted by a K-pop act. Analysts estimate total attendance could reach approximately 4.7 million, with the number of shows potentially expanding to as many as 90 if additional dates in Japan and the Middle East are added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the upbeat outlook, HYBE\u2019s near-term financial performance remains under pressure. Market expectations point to a weak fourth quarter in 2025, weighed down by restructuring costs at HYBE America and debut-related expenses for newly launched artists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Park Soo-young, an analyst at Hanwha Investment & Securities, estimates HYBE\u2019s fourth-quarter operating profit at about $3.5 million, well below consensus forecasts, citing one-time expenses that likely extended from the previous quarter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still, analysts say the full-group return of BTS marks a turning point for the company\u2019s earnings trajectory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lee Hwan-wook of Yuanta Securities raised HYBE\u2019s target price by roughly 27% to about $310 per share, saying the release of BTS\u2019s fifth full-length album in March and the launch of the world tour would gradually lift the stock\u2019s valuation floor. He expects tour-related revenue to begin contributing meaningfully from the second quarter and continue for more than a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Park Sung-ho of LS Securities echoed the bullish outlook, raising his target price to around $320 and maintaining a \u201ctop pick\u201d rating. He said HYBE now has the strongest earnings momentum among Korea\u2019s major entertainment companies, supported by a broader recovery in sector sentiment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Optimism is also being fueled by the return of girl group Blackpink, which has confirmed a full-group comeback on Feb. 27, local time. Investors are increasingly betting that easing tensions between South Korea and China could lead to a resumption of concerts in mainland China, a long-closed but lucrative market for K-pop acts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lee Hwa-jung of NH Investment & Securities said 2026 could mark a structural re-rating of the entertainment industry. \u201cThe return of BTS and other top-tier acts is not just a short-term earnings catalyst,\u201d she said, \u201cbut a signal of longer intellectual-property lifecycles and expanding economies of scale.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
