What stands out

• Full-year 2025 revenue rose 7.5% to about ₩1.04T, and net income rose to about ₩19.9B from ₩15.8B in 2024.
• Operating margin has eased from 4.8% in 2022 to 2.8% on a trailing basis, so profitability is thin.
• Borrowings of about ₩233B are large against cash of about ₩6.7B, and liabilities are about 215% of equity.
• Trailing free cash flow is about ₩11.2B, which is positive but small relative to the debt load.
• The company pays no dividend, and foreign ownership fell from 5.2% to 3.4% over the past 60 days, while retail investors were net buyers over the last 20 days.

What to watch

• The Q3 2026 quarterly report and whether margins hold near the trailing 2.8% level.
• Debt levels and refinancing needs given borrowings of about ₩233B.
• Further insider shareholding or 5%+ holding filings, as recent ones were filed in May, June and July 2026.
