just to clarify, the article first mentions aespa. the synk world tour will start in 2026 and lead into the first half of 2027 (until february), which is what the researcher meant.
this does NOT mean that smnbg will have a world tour. they are referring to smnbg's debut AND aespa's (continued) world tour being a catalyst to SM's investment recovery in 2027.
Kiwoom Securities analyst Lim Su-jin mentioned SMTR25 in a recent article.
“The debut of the rookie boy group SMTR25 in the fourth quarter, along with their massive world tour extending into the first half of 2027, will help boost future earnings.”
huh… their… massive… world… tour…???
