Hankook Cosmetics한국화장품

Hankook Cosmetics is barely profitable on a trailing basis, with revenue shrinking and the shares down sharply over the past year.

The company sells a range of about 700 cosmetics products mainly through online, home shopping, distributors and direct sales, with no owned factories. Trailing twelve-month revenue to H1 2026 was about ₩81.9B, with operating income of roughly ₩0.6B and net income of about ₩0.9B. The share price closed at ₩5,460 on 2026-10-26, well below its 52-week high of ₩13,080.

What stands out

• Revenue fell 8.4% in 2025 to about ₩85.0B after strong growth in 2023 and 2024.
• Operating margin has compressed from about 4% in 2024 to 0.7% on a trailing basis, so profit is thin.
• Net income in the trailing period is supported by items beyond operations, since it is above operating income; the data does not explain the difference.
• Cash of about ₩18.4B exceeds borrowings of ₩2.6B, and trailing free cash flow is reported at about ₩6.0B.
• The shares are down 45.3% over one year, and the reported DCF base value of ₩1,671 is far below the current price; the data gives no analyst views.

What to watch

• The half-year report for June 2026 was filed on 2026-08-13; the next quarterly and annual results will show whether margins recover.
• Foreign ownership fell from 2.4% to 1.9% over about 60 days, and the largest shareholder's holding change filed on 2026-06-24 is worth monitoring.
• The data shows no recent news headlines, so the reasons behind the share price decline are not explained here.
