What stands out

• Revenue rose 16.6% in 2025 to ₩254B, and trailing revenue to H1 2026 is ₩273B, which points to continued growth.
• Trailing operating margin is 15.2% against 12.4% in 2025, and trailing net margin is 13.4%.
• Valuation screens as modest: P/E of 6.8, P/B of 1.7, and a 5.6% dividend yield, while the filing-based DCF model gives a base value of ₩19,478, bear ₩11,987 and bull ₩31,838; these model outputs are not forecasts.
• Balance sheet shows cash of ₩46.5B against borrowings of ₩11.8B, with liabilities at 86.3% of equity and trailing free cash flow of ₩64.3B.
• Filings show a buyback trust contract and a share cancellation decision in September 2026, and a treasury share sale decision in May 2026; the one news item in the data is about a special sale of a '2028 Daesung Pass' tied to university admissions reform.

What to watch

• Full-year 2026 results and the next quarterly report, since the data only covers trailing figures to H1 2026.
• Follow-up on the buyback trust and share cancellation, which the filings describe but the data does not detail in terms of size or timing.
• Recent net foreign ownership is small at 3.6%, and the data does not explain the 20-day retail net selling of about ₩5.2B.
