Ecopro: Profit Recovery From a Loss-Making 2024-2025, With a High P/E and Active Capital Filings
Ecopro, a KOSDAQ-listed holding company, closed at ₩84,100 on 2026-10-12 with a market cap of about ₩11.4T, up 80.7% over one year. Trailing results to H1 2026 show an operating margin of 8.6% and net income of ₩140.7B, but the P/E of 81.2 and negative free cash flow temper the picture.

Thesis
The data supports a recovery story in reported earnings: operating income turned from a ₩293.0B loss in 2024 to ₩213.8B profit in 2025 and ₩286.1B on a trailing basis to H1 2026. Net income also moved from a ₩149.8B loss in 2025 to ₩140.7B profit on a trailing basis. The share price is up 80.7% over one year but flat over one and three months (-0.4% and 0.6%), and it sits well below the 52-week high of ₩190,000 while far above the low of ₩45,550.
What the data does not support is a clean, cash-backed recovery. Free cash flow is -₩546.3B, borrowings of ₩2.1T exceed cash of ₩1.3T, and revenue (₩3.3T trailing) remains less than half the 2023 level of ₩7.3T. Investor flows, foreign ownership, short balance and news headlines are not available in the data.
