Despite the enormous demand for Black Pink concerts and the expected launch of the new girl-group band BabyMonster, we believe shares of Yg Entertainment (122870 KS) have overextended this year.
Black Pink remains a fan-favorite group and their contribution to sales and profits are likely to peak this year. Valuations for YG Entertainment is also unattractive.
Although BabyMonster is likely to become popular, the higher probability scenario is for them to fall below expectations. We do not believe BabyMonster could become the next Black Pink.
