Quarterly revenue and income chart

💡 Korea Market 101
A company posts a report card every quarter; this table lines them up in order. Revenue is everything it sold; operating income is what’s left after costs — the true profit from the core business. Steadily rising numbers mean the business is working, and an expanding operating margin is an even better sign. Over time, stock prices tend to follow these report cards.

💵 Balance Sheet & Runway — How Long Can It Last?

Item Value How to read it
Cash & equivalents ₩1.47T Money available right now
Total debt ₩6.19T What it owes — larger than cash means a net debt position
Free cash flow ₩-502.5B Operating cash minus capex — negative means cash is going out
Operating cash flow ₩1.51T Cash actually generated by the business, which can differ from accounting profit
Debt to equity 82.2% Debt against shareholders’ equity — above 100% means more debt than equity
Current ratio 1.21 Short-term assets against short-term liabilities — below 1 signals near-term strain

At the current burn rate, the cash on hand covers roughly 2.9 years (35 months). The real figure shifts with revenue growth, cost control, and any new financing.

💡 Korea Market 101
For a loss-making company, earnings multiples like P/E tell you little. The question that matters is how long the cash lasts. A short runway raises the odds of a capital raise, which dilutes existing shareholders.

⚖️ Valuation — Cheap or Expensive?

Metric Value How to read it
P/E (trailing) 17.9x Price vs last 12 months’ earnings
P/E (forward) 14.0x Price vs next 12 months’ expected earnings — growth hopes baked in
P/S 2.1x Price vs revenue — for high-growth names with thin profits
P/B 4.4x Price vs book value — below 1x means priced under liquidation value
PEG 0.4x P/E ÷ growth — near 1 is fair for the growth; above 2 is demanding
EV/EBITDA 15.9x Enterprise value (incl. debt) vs cash generation

💡 Korea Market 101
Cheap or expensive is judged by multiples of earnings, not the share price itself. A P/E of 20 means you pay 20 years of current profits for the company. Fast growers earn high multiples — but when growth cracks, the multiple breaks first. That’s why the peer table matters: if one name is far pricier than its rivals, check whether its growth actually justifies the premium.

🎯 Street Consensus

  • Price target (mean): ₩135,571
  • Target high / low: ₩179,000 / ₩63,000
  • Implied upside: +51.3%
  • Rating: none
  • Analysts covering: 21
  • Next earnings: 2026-10-26
💡 Korea Market 101
The average of sell-side analysts’ 12-month price forecasts. A target far above the current price doesn’t guarantee upside — sometimes the stock just fell faster than analysts cut their numbers. The direction of target revisions matters more than the level, and more analysts means a more reliable consensus.

📉 Price Action — Technical Check

1-year price chart with 50/200-day moving averages

Indicator Value How to read it
RSI (14d) 48.5 Above 70 overbought · below 30 oversold
vs 60-day MA -6.9% Above/below the medium-term trend
vs 200-day MA -23.8% Above/below the long-term trend
Golden/death cross 50-day below 200-day (bearish alignment) 50-day MA crossing above (golden) or below (death) the 200-day
Volume (vs 20d avg) 0.6x 2x+ means a spike in market attention
💡 Korea Market 101
Fundamentals tell you what the company is; technicals tell you how the market is treating the stock right now. Above the 50- and 200-day moving averages = uptrend; below = downtrend. RSI is a short-term heat gauge — above 70, the stock has run hot and may need to cool off. Even great companies keep falling in the middle of a downtrend, so this helps with the timing question.
