0013 GMT - Hansol Chemical could post a 2Q earnings beat on strong revenue growth led by its precursor business, Daiwa Capital analysts Henny Jung and Yoonki Bae write in a note. The South Korean company's operating profit is projected to have risen 37% on year to 48 billion won for the April-June quarter, likely above the market consensus forecast of 44 billion won, the analysts say. They expect Hansol's year-over-year profit growth to continue through 2027, driven by high-margin chemical products. Daiwa is upbeat on Hansol's commitment to return 20%-50% of its net income to shareholders and buy back 200,000 additional shares by August. (kwanwoo.jun@wsj.com)
