Korean department stores have structural growth catalysts.
Korean department stores are undergoing structural growth due to platformization into cultural and tourism destinations, an increasing share of VIP sales, and consumption tailwinds from large semiconductor bonus payouts at Samsung Electronics and SK hynix. These factors are driving sustained revenue and profit growth, making the sector attractive for investment.

Shinsegae is the best department store pick.
Shinsegae is the top pick among Korean department stores. Its Gangnam store is the global #1 in sales, the company excels in real estate development around transportation hubs, benefits from strong tourism, has enhanced shareholder returns, and is cutting costs by closing loss-making duty-free operations. Revenue is expected to exceed 7 trillion won in 2025, with further upside from margin improvement.

Hyundai Department Store to turnaround by Q3.
Hyundai Department Store had a weak Q1 2025 but is expected to experience a turnaround by Q3-Q4, driven by summer seasonal demand, increased foreign tourist spending, and the success of its platform-oriented renewal. The stock still has room to rise as earnings recover.
