Thesis
The data supports a picture of a steady revenue base with weakening profitability. Trailing twelve-month revenue is ₩607.8B, slightly below 2025's ₩620.8B, while operating income is ₩22.0B versus ₩45.6B for 2025. The share price has fallen 10.4% in one month and 31.0% in three months, and the market is pricing the company at 0.6 times book value.
On the other side, the balance sheet looks manageable, free cash flow is positive at ₩33.4B, and the dividend yield is 5.1%. The model estimate sits far above the share price, but it rests on assumptions that earnings recover, which the latest trailing numbers do not yet show. The data does not give details on the merger terms, so its effect on value cannot be judged here.
