[Korea] Conglomerates Lotte Corp. Buy (004990 KS) (Maintain) Key investment points TP: W40,000 ▼ Upside: 27.6% Mirae Asset Daewoo Co., Ltd. Dae-ro Jeong [email protected] Recent developments Acquisition of additional subsidiary stakes; inheritance tax report due by end of July Lotte Corp. recently acquired additional stakes in Lotte Foods (002270 KS/CP: W333,000; 23.1% 36.4%) and Lotte Global Logistics (44.6% 46.0%). Individual inheritance taxes on the assets of the late honorary chairman Shin Kyuk-ho must be filed by the end of this month. Regardless of the inheritance outcome, we believe Chairman Shin Dong-bin will maintain stable control over the group; we see limited risks of a battle for control. Investment points Consolidated earnings to recover in 2021; unlisted subsidiaries may be headed for IPOs We expect operating earnings of key subsidiaries—including Lotte Shopping (023530 KS/Trading Buy/TP: W105,000/CP: W78,000) and Lotte Chemical (011170 KS/Buy/TP: W240,000/CP: W171,500)—to recover in 2021 after bottoming in 2H20. We believe Lotte Corp.’s unlisted subsidiaries, such as Lotte Global Logistics and Korea Seven, will pursue IPOs. Lotte Group is likely to resume its push to list Hotel Lotte and subsequently merge the company with Lotte Corp., thereby completing its ownership structure overhaul. Investment recommendation Maintain Buy, but cut TP to W40,000 and valuation We cut our target price on Lotte Corp. to W40,000 (from W52,000) due to a drop in the value of the company’s stakes in affiliates (including Lotte Shopping). The stock is currently trading at a 43.6% discount to its NAV. The company is likely to gradually retire its treasury shares (32.5% based on common shares). If all of the company’s treasury shares are cancelled, we estimate NAV per share would increase 21.6%.
