APR(278470) has posted its strongest-ever quarterly earnings, signaling a decisive rebound from the uncertainty caused by tariff risks during the Trump administration. In response to the robust performance, several brokerage firms have raised their target prices for the stock.
On May 8, APR reported first-quarter results that significantly beat market expectations. Revenue reached 266 billion won, a 79% increase year-on-year, while operating profit surged 97% to 54.6 billion won. Both figures represent record highs for the company on a quarterly basis.

Kyobo Securities raised its target price for APR from 90,000 won to 130,000 won, reflecting a 44.4% increase. In a research report, analyst Kwon Woo-jung stated, “APR’s U.S. business remains in the early stages, but considering the exceptional search traffic on Amazon, the company is well positioned for strong future growth.”
Hanwha Investment & Securities and Yuanta Securities also revised their target prices upward to 130,000 won.
Han Yoo-jung, an analyst at Hanwha Investment & Securities, commented, “APR has delivered yet another earnings surprise. The company continues to exhibit exceptional growth across the consumer goods sector, and we maintain our view of APR as the most preferred stock in the cosmetics segment.” She added, “While cosmetics currently lead the company’s growth, we expect the beauty device segment to become a key growth driver in the future.”
Yuanta Securities analyst Lee Seung-eun noted, “With record-breaking quarterly earnings and a strong operating margin of 20.5%, APR has demonstrated both growth and profitability. We anticipate additional momentum from new product launches and global expansion in the device segment.”
