Analysis · LPL · Manufacturing
After a KRW 107.7 billion operating loss in Q2, LG Display returned to profit in Q3 2026, with revenue up 12% quarter-on-quarter to KRW 6.28 trillion on peak-season large-size and mobile OLED shipments. The bottom line delivered the bigger swing: net profit of KRW 755.6 billion versus a KRW 418.8 billion loss last quarter, helped by FX-related gains. Even so, operating profit remains down 42% year-on-year and revenue is 10% lower than a year ago, so the recovery is sequential rather than a return to prior-year levels. Management also flagged a weaker KRW/USD rate and rising semiconductor costs as headwinds, which it absorbed through a richer OLED mix.
