Dae-Il디아이씨

Dae-Il is loss-making on a trailing basis, with thin margins, heavy debt and a share price down sharply over the past month.

Dae-Il, a Korean maker of gears, shafts and transmission parts for carmakers and forklifts, reported trailing revenue of about ₩719B to H1 2026 but a net loss of about ₩8.6B. Operating profit is small at about ₩13.5B, and borrowings of about ₩342B are well above its cash of about ₩29B. The shares closed at ₩4,555 on 2026-10-26, down 18.1% over one month and 7% over one year.

What stands out

• Revenue has been broadly flat to modest growth, from ₩590B in 2021 to ₩757B in 2025, but profitability has fallen: operating margin was 2.4% in 2025 versus 5.0% in 2023.
• Net income swung to a loss of about ₩10.5B in 2025 after profits in 2021 to 2024, and the trailing figure to H1 2026 is also negative.
• Liabilities are about 301% of equity, and the data shows free cash flow of only about ₩0.4B on a trailing basis.
• Foreign ownership rose from 1.5% to 2.4% over 60 days, while retail investors were net sellers of about ₩1.6B over the last 20 days.
• Recent filings are mostly routine: a half-year report (Jun 2026), largest-shareholder holding changes and a 5%+ holding report. The data contains no recent news headlines.

What to watch

• The next quarterly or half-year results, to see whether operating margin recovers from about 1.9% and the net loss narrows.
• Debt levels and cash flow, since borrowings are large relative to cash and equity.
• Ongoing changes in largest-shareholder holdings reported in filings, and the price action after the recent sharp fall. The data does not include analyst ratings or forecasts.
