POSCO Holdings aims to achieve consolidated sales of KRW 69.095 trillion and operating profit of KRW 1.827 trillion by 2025, despite challenging conditions from global economic slowdown and protectionism. The company's solid performance in steel and LNG is expected to offset initial operating costs in the secondary battery materials sector and one-off losses in infrastructure.

It anticipates improvements through investments in steel facilities and lithium mines. In 2025, POSCO's steel revenue dropped 6.8% to KRW 35.01 trillion, but operating profit rose 20.8% to KRW 1.78 trillion due to cost innovations.

The secondary battery materials sector faced challenges, while infrastructure profits were stable due to LNG production increases. The company plans to extend restructuring of low-margin assets until 2028, generating KRW 2.8 trillion in cash for future investments.
