iMBC returned to a small net profit on the trailing twelve months, but operating losses and a steep share price fall over the past year remain the main issues.

iMBC runs digital video and advertising services built around the MBC group's imbc.com platform, plus web agency and overseas purchasing businesses. Its trailing twelve months to H1 2026 show revenue of about ₩39.5B and a small operating loss of about ₩0.7B, with net income of about ₩1.5B, which the data does not explain in detail. The shares closed at ₩1,535 on 19 October 2026, down 52.9% over one year and near the low end of their 52-week range.

What stands out

• Full-year 2025 was weak: revenue fell 11.9% to about ₩40.0B and the operating loss widened to about ₩7.6B, with a net loss of about ₩5.4B.
• Trailing twelve-month operating margin is -1.9%, so the recent net profit is not coming from core operations according to the figures given.
• The company reports ₩2.3B of cash and no borrowings, and liabilities are 16.6% of equity, which points to a low-debt balance sheet.
• Trailing free cash flow is about ₩3.6B, which is positive but well above operating income, and the data does not break down why.
• Valuation metrics are mixed: P/B of 0.6 and P/E of 23.7 on trailing numbers, while EV/EBITDA of 87.4 looks high. The internal DCF range runs from ₩976 to ₩2,876 per share, a wide spread that is a model output, not a forecast.
• Foreign ownership fell from 3.6% to 2.7% over about 60 days, and 20-day flows show net foreign and retail selling.

What to watch

• The next half-year or quarterly results, to see whether operating income turns sustainably positive after the 2025 loss.
• The shareholders' meeting and record date notices filed on 14 October 2026, including any agenda items the filings disclose.
• Whether the data reflects any news coverage; no recent news headlines were included, so the reasons for the share price decline are not clear from the data provided.
