What stands out

• Revenue has grown from ₩130B in 2021 to ₩224B on a trailing basis, but margins remain thin at about 3.5%.
• 2025 net income of ₩3.9B was well below operating income of ₩8.5B, and trailing free cash flow is negative at about -₩4.1B.
• Liabilities are 124.8% of equity, and borrowings of ₩118.5B are large relative to the company's cash.
• Foreign ownership fell from 7.8% to 6.7% over about 60 days, while the 20-day flows show foreign net selling of about ₩72M.
• The filings list a change of CEO on 1 September 2026 and a corporate value-up plan published in March 2026; the data does not include the plan's contents.

What to watch

• Next quarterly and annual filings, to see whether margins and free cash flow improve from current levels.
• Trends in borrowings and the sustainability of the dividend yield given negative free cash flow.
• Effects of the recent CEO change, which the data does not explain further; no news headlines were available.
