Analysts at NH Investment & Securities, led by Ju Min-woo, said that Samsung SDI may continue to lose money until the end of 2026 after recording losses greater than expected in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2025 due to weak demand for electric vehicles in the US. The analysts said that due to the declining market share of electric vehicle batteries in Europe, the South Korean battery maker is likely to be hit harder than its rivals. NH Investment & Securities anticipates that the company will record an operating loss of 338.7 billion won in the fourth fiscal quarter, while the average market forecast is a loss of 269 billion won, and its annual loss for 2025 is 1.765 trillion won. NH Investment & Securities predicts that the company's operating loss in 2026 may narrow to 967 billion won.
