Net profit attributable to parent was RMB 42.7M (approx. 9.0B KRW), EPS of RMB 0.93 (KRW 197).
Gearing ratio improved to 15% from 17% at end of 2025, net debt at RMB 259.3M.
Largest shareholder Trillion Luck Group (39.17%), management stabilized after tender offer in January 2026.
High customer concentration: top customer (ZTE) accounts for 97% of revenue, raising credit and dependency risk.
No dividends declared; no share buyback or cancellation plans disclosed.
[AI Comprehensive Analysis]The company saw significant improvement in revenue and profitability due to strong GPON terminal business, but the heavy reliance on a single customer (ZTE) remains a key risk requiring diversification. The low gearing ratio reflects a stable financial structure, yet the current TTM P/E of ~2.1x suggests market skepticism about growth sustainability.
