K-Ensol케이엔솔

K-Ensol has swung to heavy losses over the trailing twelve months after two profitable years, and its shares are down sharply over the past year.

K-Ensol designs and builds cleanroom systems for semiconductor, display, battery and biopharma factories, plus a bridge girder business through a subsidiary. Trailing twelve-month revenue is about ₩478B, but operating loss is about ₩69B and free cash flow is about -₩78B as of H1 2026. The share price is ₩8,170, down 29.4% over one year and well below its 52-week high of ₩18,430.

What stands out

• Revenue fell 20% in 2025 to ₩464B, and the trailing twelve-month operating margin is -14.4% versus a 4.6% margin in 2024.
• Net loss of about ₩63B on a trailing basis gives an ROE of -41.6%, and liabilities are 225.7% of equity.
• Borrowings are about ₩141B against cash of about ₩28B, which is a notable debt load given current losses.
• Filings include a July 2026 decision on an increase in short-term borrowings, which fits with the funding pressure visible in the numbers.
• Valuation shows a price-to-book of 0.9 and price-to-sales of 0.2, but P/E is not meaningful because earnings are negative; no dividend is paid.

What to watch

• The next quarterly and annual reports, to see whether operating losses narrow and whether free cash flow turns positive.
• Further filings on short-term borrowings or refinancing, given borrowings well above cash.
• Foreign ownership has risen from 0.9% to 1.3% over about 60 days, but no news headlines were in the data to explain the reasons.
