As of 9:25 AM on the 18th, LG Electronics is trading at 90,400 KRW, up 3,600 KRW (4.15%) from the previous day.

The second value-up plan announced the previous day is believed to have influenced the stock price increase. After the market closed the previous day, LG Electronics disclosed its second corporate value enhancement plan, which centers on the cancellation of approximately 760,000 treasury shares next year. Earlier, in October, LG Electronics had unveiled its first value-up plan outlining a mid- to long-term business strategy, including achieving a return on equity (ROE) of over 10% by 2027. Additionally, LG Electronics announced on the 6th that it submitted a Draft Red Herring Prospectus (DRHP) to the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) for the initial public offering (IPO) of its Indian subsidiary.

LG Electronics is pursuing the IPO of its Indian subsidiary as part of enhancing corporate value and plans to decide on the final listing based on market conditions and preliminary demand forecasts. Alongside this, to enhance shareholder value, the company has decided to cancel treasury shares acquired previously within the scope of distributable profits next year. The cancellation volume is approximately 761,000 shares, which accounts for about 0.5% of LG Electronics' total issued shares.
