0217 GMT - The backlog of orders at LIG Nex1 can keep the South Korean guided-missile maker busy for the next seven years, Eugene Investment & Securities analyst S.Y. Yang writes in a note. LIG Nex1's accumulated contract wins topped KRW20 trillion as of late 2024, drive by brisk demand for precision-guided missiles and other products, Yang says. In 1Q 2025, the company is set to add a sealed KRW3.7 trillion supply deal with Iraq for medium-range surface-to-air missiles, he notes. Eugene Investment raises its target price for the stock by 40% to KRW340,000 and maintains a buy rating. Shares are 0.2% higher at KRW284,500. (kwanwoo.jun@wsj.com)
