Samhyun Steel삼현철강

Samhyun Steel is profitable on a trailing basis after a weak 2025, with a small operating margin and a high dividend yield, but revenue and returns remain thin.

Samhyun Steel, a KOSDAQ-listed steel processor, reported trailing revenue of ₩230B and operating income of ₩10B for the twelve months to H1 2026, a step up from its 2025 operating income of ₩5.1B. Revenue has fallen in most recent years from the 2021 peak of ₩322B, and the shares trade near the lower part of their 52-week range at ₩4,575. The data shows a balance sheet with more cash (₩31B) than borrowings (₩2.3B).

What stands out

• Trailing operating margin is 4.4% versus 2.3% for 2025 and 10.3% in 2021, so profitability is recovering from a low base but well below earlier years.
• Revenue fell 22.9% in 2023 and 14.8% in 2024 before a 2.5% decline in 2025, and the data shows no recent growth year.
• Valuation metrics are low at a P/E of 7.5 and P/B of 0.4, and the data shows a dividend yield of 6.6%.
• Shares are down 4.2% over one month and 0.4% over one year, sitting between the 52-week low of ₩4,110 and high of ₩6,140.
• Foreign ownership rose from 3.6% to 4.5% over about 60 days, while 20-day flows show net foreign and institutional selling and net retail buying.

What to watch

• The full-year 2026 results, since the data only covers trailing figures to H1 2026 and the company's forward outlook is not in the pack.
• The share cancellation decision filed in May 2026 and any follow-up on the corporate value-up plan.
• Whether revenue stabilises, given the consecutive declines in recent years and the thin margins shown.
