  • In this insight, we discuss a pair trade between LG Electronics (066570 KS) (long) and LG Display (034220 KS) (short).

  • LG Display is likely to face greater margin pressures than LG Electronics this year, which could lead a bigger consensus estimates downward revisions for LG Display than LG Electronics.

  • Both LG Electronics and LG Display are trading at 0.6x P/B multiples. Given LG Electronics' much higher ROE vs LG Display, LG Electronics should be trading at higher valuation multiples.
