LG Display (LPL) stock surged 5.71% in Friday's pre-market trading, building on the momentum from the previous day's session. The sharp rise comes on the heels of the South Korean display maker's encouraging third-quarter financial results for 2025, which showed a substantial improvement in the company's bottom line.
According to the company's filing with the Korea Exchange, LG Display reported a significantly narrowed net loss attributable to shareholders of 20.7 billion won in Q3, a marked improvement from the 355.2 billion won loss recorded in the same period last year. Additionally, the company posted a 2% year-over-year increase in sales, reaching 6.956 trillion won compared to 6.821 trillion won in the previous year.
The market's enthusiastic response to LG Display's financial results reflects growing investor optimism about the company's progress in navigating challenging market conditions. As one of the world's largest manufacturers of LCD and OLED display panels, LG Display's improved performance could signal a potential turnaround in the global display market, which has faced headwinds in recent years due to oversupply and fluctuating demand. The stock's strong performance suggests that investors are increasingly confident in the company's ability to maintain its positive momentum and potentially return to profitability in the coming quarters.
