On May 16, Korean financial company Hyundai Securities talked about JYP Entertainment's plans for the rest of this year as we approach the second half of 2014.  

The entertainment agency has maintained their targeted stock price of 10,000 won (~ $10 USD) and kept to their outlines regarding purchases in the first quarter of the year.  

It was also revealed that their profits from the first quarter were a 168.8% increase over the same period last year for a total of 7.6 billion won (~ $7.4 million) while their business profits were 330 million won (~ $300,000 USD). 

From the first quarter, the main factors of the total results are GOT7's mini-album sales starting in January, 2PM and Suzy's CF profits, 2PM's Japanese album sales, and music distribution sales on China's Baidu.

Hyundai Securities analyst, Jin Hong Kook, said, "It seems JYP Entertainment's artists have started full-scale promotions in the second quarter.  The favorable results will likely continue to strengthen in the second half."
