LVMC Holdings Q1 2026 Earnings Surge: Revenue Up 26.6%, Net Income Quadruples, Convertible Bond Dilution Risk Remains
Consolidated Q1 2026 revenue reached $88.3M (KRW 129.3B), up 26.6% YoY, and net income surged to $12.3M (KRW 18.1B), approximately quadruple the prior year, driven by strong sales in Laos and Vietnam and improved CKD margins
Operating profit rose 74.3% YoY to $13.5M (KRW 19.8B), reflecting robust demand for DAEHAN brand trucks and Hyundai/Kia dealership operations
Basic EPS improved significantly to $0.22 (KRW 318) from $0.01, highlighting attractive valuation with a low P/E ratio
Total equity stood at $374.1M (KRW 566.1B) with a debt-to-equity ratio of 34.9%, but the KRW 30B convertible bond (conversion price KRW 1,756) poses potential dilution if the stock price rises above the conversion price
No share buybacks, cancellations, or dividends were executed during the quarter; cash and cash equivalents increased to $53.6M (KRW 81.2B)
