Thesis

The data supports a picture of a REIT whose operating business scaled up sharply in 2025, with operating margin near 74.0%. Revenue growth of 77.7% in 2025 follows a smaller 9.6% in 2024.

The data does not show that this scale has reached shareholders. Net income was ₩1.95B in 2025 and ₩2.5B on a trailing basis, giving ROE of about 1.0%. Borrowings of ₩657.9B and liabilities at 213.3% of equity suggest financing costs absorb most of the operating profit, though the data does not itemize this.

The share price is up 14.3% over one year and sits between its 52-week low of ₩3,245 and high of ₩4,920. Dividend yield is 3.3%. No news headlines are available in the data.

Market capitalization is ₩241.3B across 61,627,860 listed shares, and enterprise value is ₩858.7B.

Financial analysis

Figures come from filed financial statements. Trailing twelve months to H1 2026: revenue ₩32.1B, operating income ₩23.6B (73.5% margin), net income ₩2.5B (7.9% net margin), ROE 1.0%.

Operating margin has risen each year, from 53.5% in 2021 to 74.0% in 2025. Net income was ₩10.3B in 2024 and ₩2.0B in 2025. Net income is shown as zero for 2021 to 2023, which may reflect data gaps rather than actual results.

The balance sheet shows borrowings of ₩657.9B against cash of ₩28.8B, with liabilities-to-equity at 213.3%. Free cash flow was ₩12.0B over the trailing period.

Valuation

Current multiples are P/E 95.3, P/B 1.0, P/S 7.5 and EV/EBITDA 29.5. The high P/E reflects small net income. Year-end P/B was between 0.8 and 1.1 over 2021 to 2025, so the current P/B is within its own range. Year-end P/E was 20.6 in 2024 and 113.5 in 2025.

Peers: SK Reit P/E 48.8 and P/B 0.8; Lotte Reit 59.4 and 1.1; Hanwha Reit 65.8 and 1.4; ESR Kendall Square Reit 1,211.7 and 0.7; Shinhan Alpha REIT 95.9 and 1.1. On P/E the company is above most peers, while P/B is in line.

The valuation model (5-year discounted cash flow, 5.0% rate, trailing to H1 2026) gives a base case of ₩2,941 per share, a bear case of ₩0 and a bull case of ₩13,343. This is a model estimate based on the assumptions shown, not a target. The base case is below the ₩3,915 close, and the very wide range shows high sensitivity to the assumptions.

Catalysts

  • The amended cash dividend decision filed on 2026-09-21 is relevant to the 3.3% dividend yield.
  • An amended real estate leasing filing on 2026-10-02 may point to changes in lease arrangements, though details are not in the data.
  • An investor relations event was filed on 2026-10-13, which may bring further disclosure on operations.
  • Institutions were net buyers of ₩588.0M over the last 20 days while retail investors were net sellers of ₩609.4M.
  • Frequent insider shareholding reports in September and October 2026 show ongoing ownership changes.

Risks

  • Borrowings of ₩657.9B and liabilities at 213.3% of equity leave the company exposed to financing costs.
  • Net income of ₩2.5B on ₩32.1B of revenue means small changes in costs could move profit heavily.
  • ROE of 1.0% is low, and the P/E of 95.3 is high compared with most listed peers.
  • The model's base estimate of ₩2,941 per share is below the current price, and the range from ₩0 to ₩13,343 shows high uncertainty.
  • Foreign ownership is only 0.9% and short balance is 0.1%, and flows are small, which may mean limited trading depth.

Closing view

The data shows a REIT with strong operating margins and a large step up in revenue in 2025, but little of that reaching net income, with high leverage and a low ROE. The P/B of 1.0 is in line with its own history and peers, while the P/E is high and the model's base estimate is below the current price. Dividend yield of 3.3% and recent institutional buying are positives, but the balance sheet and thin profit leave the picture mixed.
