The move was justified by an expected increase in consolidated leverage due to weak earnings in petrochemicals and cathode materials and rising debt to finance capacity expansion at LG Energy Solution (LGES), which is 79.4% owned by LG Chem. Moody’s names criteria for a possible upgrade (adjusted net leverage below 2.75x) and for further downgrades (net leverage persistently above 3.75–4.0x). » More on de.investing.com
LG Chem returns to profitability in Q3 2025 with net profit of 447 billion won

LG Chem reported a net profit of 447 billion won for Q3 2025, consolidated revenue of 11.196 trillion won and an operating profit of 680 billion won (operating margin 6.1%). The return to profitability was driven by a focus on high-margin products and cost-cutting measures, while the petrochemicals division faced headwinds. For 2025, capex of around 2 trillion won is planned, with a focus on expanding the cathode plant in Tennessee and developing high‑nickel battery cathodes; monetization of the stake in LG Energy Solution is being considered. Geopolitical uncertainties, weak global demand and intensified competition remain risks. » More on de.investing.com
