THE INVESTOR] NH Investment & Securities forecast
Lotte Chemical will post solid third-quarter earnings, with operating profit rising 27 percent to 616 billion won (US$556.18 million).
“A fall in the exchange rate of the Korean won to the US dollar will force the bottom line figure to fall below market estimates, but profit will still rise considerably,” the brokerage said on Sept.27.
