LPL Financial Holdings Inc. is upgraded to buy, with valuation now attractive and strong earnings growth projected for 2026 and beyond. LPLA's Q1 saw 30% YoY client asset growth to $2.3 trillion, robust pre-tax margins, and resumed share buybacks. Despite lagging SPY and XLF, LPLA targets mid- to high single-digit organic growth and potential upside to $336/share at 16x P/E.
LPLA's client assets climb to $2.48 trillion in April 2026 as advisory assets surge 51.5% year over year.
LG Display Co., Ltd. maintains operating profitability for a third consecutive quarter, driven by OLED panels now comprising 60% of revenue. Q1 revenue declined 9% YoY and 23% QoQ, impacted by seasonality and the exit from LCD TV panel sales. Net loss resulted from foreign currency translation losses, as a weak won inflated the value of LPL's foreign-denominated debt.
