LG Display (LPL) made it through our 'Fast-Paced Momentum at a Bargain' screen and could be a great choice for investors looking for stocks that have gained strong momentum recently but are still trading at reasonable prices.
I maintain my buy rating on LG Display, as Q2 results exceeded expectations and marked a return to profitability after several loss-making quarters. The company's strategic shift from LCD to higher-priced OLED products is driving ASP expansion and margin recovery. A reduction in depreciation costs and an increase in OLED revenue share support a brighter earnings outlook for the coming quarter.
