What stands out

• Net income exceeds operating income in the trailing period, and the data does not explain the gap.
• Revenue has fallen in 2024 and 2025 after a 16.7% rise in 2023.
• Cash of ₩5.6B against borrowings of ₩6.6B, with trailing free cash flow of ₩8.7B.
• Filings include a revenue or profit structure change of 30% or more dated 2026-10-12, but the data does not give its details.
• The fair value model gives a base of ₩3,474, bear ₩968 and bull ₩8,079; these are model outputs, not forecasts.
• Foreign ownership fell from 1.4% to 0.9% over 60 days, and retail investors were net sellers over 20 days.

What to watch

• The details and cause of the 2026-10-12 filing on a major change in revenue or profit structure, which the data does not describe.
• Next quarterly and half-year results, given the recent swings between profit and loss.
• Exposure to Korean automakers and export markets, which the data does not analyse further.
