[THE INVESTOR] Hana Financial Group’s third-quarter performance will be above market expectations and the stock price is still underestimated, said Mirae Asset Securities on Oct. 12.

The securities firm maintained a “buy” recommendation and raised the target price to 42,000 won (US$37.39).

The finance firm’s “third-quarter net profit will surge 38 percent to 352.4 billion won on-year,” said Kang Hye-seung, an analyst at Mirae Asset.

“Following the drop in exchange rate from last quarter, 45 billion won translation gain from non-monetary assets in foreign currency has been recognized and contributed to the figure,” she explained.
