What stands out

• Trailing operating margin is 4.6%, up from 2.3% in 2024 and 3.5% in 2025, though net income is well above operating income, so the profit mix is not fully explained in the data.
• Annual revenue rose 19.9% in 2025 after declines in 2023 and 2024, but net income fell from about ₩6.1B in 2021 to ₩2.2B in 2025.
• Borrowings of about ₩26.2B are large relative to cash of about ₩0.9B, and liabilities are 70.5% of equity.
• The company filed a notice in September 2026 about possible designation as an administrative issue because its market capitalization is below ₩20B.
• Foreign ownership is about 1%, and retail investors were net sellers over the last 20 days, while foreign and institutional investors were net buyers.

What to watch

• The filing notice on possible administrative-issue designation, which the data describes but does not explain in detail.
• The tender offer filings from July and August 2026, whose purpose and outcome are not described in the data.
• The next quarterly report and any update on the company's debt and cash position, since the data contains no forward guidance.
