The jump outpaced the broader Kospi index, which rose 2.9 per cent.
According to brokerage firm iM Securities, Hybe's third-quarter revenue is expected to reach 1.5 trillion won ($1.11 billion), up 106 per cent from a year earlier, with operating profit projected at 172.2 billion won. Concert revenue alone is forecast at 717 billion won, nearly triple the prior year.
BTS's ongoing world tour included 16 stadium shows in North America and eight in Europe during the third quarter. Along with tours by other Hybe acts including Enhypen, Katseye and Cortis, total concert attendance is estimated at nearly 3 million, potentially a quarterly record for the company.
For the first time, Western markets accounted for more than 70 per cent of total concert attendance, highlighting Hybe's growing international presence. Despite currency headwinds, concert, merchandise and licensing revenues are expected to reach record levels, the report said.
Higher royalty payments to established artists and initial touring costs for newer groups are expected to weigh on margins. However, CGS Securities analyst Jiwoo Oh told CNBC after the company's second-quarter earnings that stadium-scale operating leverage can more than offset higher costs, and forecast Hybe would maintain a double-digit operating margin.
Hybe's second-quarter results, reported in July, saw record revenue and operating profit but missed profit margin expectations, triggering a sell-off that erased $1.96 billion in market cap overnight. The current third-quarter outlook suggests the company's touring scale is delivering a stronger financial showing.
