Shares of d’Alba Global jumped more than 5 percent in early trading on Tuesday over expectations of strong earnings backed by a rebound in premium product demand.

The stock was trading at 205,500 won ($150) as of 9:23 a.m, up 5.33 percent from the previous session, having briefly climbed over 7 percent after the market opened.

Market analysts attributed the rally to growing confidence that the company’s performance and stock price will maintain upward momentum as premium product sales recover.

According to Korea Investment & Securities, d’Alba is in discussions to enter global offline retail channels, with significant revenue expected to begin in the third quarter of 2025. The brokerage said that demand for premium products is rebounding as Gen Z income levels are on the rise, a trend likely to drive both earnings and share price growth for d’Alba.

However, it also warned of short-term volatility during earnings season, citing the stock’s recent sharp gains and ongoing macroeconomic uncertainties.

For their part, Samsung Heavy Industries shares were up more than 6 percent as of 9:24 a.m. to trade at 17,240 won, bolstered by a series of upward target price revisions from brokerage firms.

Analysts attributed the strength to expectations of continued earnings improvement following robust second-quarter 2025 results.

Daishin Securities projected Samsung Heavy’s second-quarter operating profit would hit 178 billion won, beating market expectations. It also forecast that profit margins will improve significantly starting in the third quarter as low-margin orders are cleared. The brokerage raised its target price from 17,000 won to 22,000 won.

Daol Investment & Securities also lifted its target price from 19,000 won to 20,000 won, citing the company’s complete forward hedging against currency fluctuations and the anticipated contribution of FLNG (floating liquefied natural gas) orders to future earnings.

Samsung Securities raised its target from 18,000 won to 20,600 won.

d’Alba Global shares closed at 213,500, while Samsung Heavy Industries shares closed at 17,320.
