[Market Focus] Orion Falls 3.89% Amid Ongoing Domestic and Overseas Consumption Slowdown

Orion's stock price is on a downward trend as the slowdown in both domestic and overseas consumption continues, raising concerns about worsening performance.

As of 9:26 a.m. on August 20, Orion was trading at 103,800 won, down 4,200 won (3.89%) from the previous trading day.

On this day, Daol Investment & Securities lowered its target price for Orion from 150,000 won to 140,000 won, stating that "the slowdown in domestic and overseas consumption is continuing." However, the firm maintained its buy recommendation.

Lee Dayeon, a researcher at Daol Investment & Securities, said, "The slowdown in consumption continues at the Korean, Chinese, and Vietnamese subsidiaries. The strategy of launching new products to stimulate demand will continue in the second half of the year, making it inevitable to increase marketing expenses." She added, "Cost pressures, especially for cocoa and oil, also persist. Due to the downward adjustment of performance estimates, we are also lowering our target price."
