| RSI (14) | 100.0 | N/A (no real trades) |

If trading were to resume, the price discovery process would reflect the severe fundamental deterioration — likely resulting in a significant decline from the suspended level of ₩1,710.
💰 Fundamental Analysis
TS Nexgen's financials have deteriorated sharply over the past two fiscal years. The 2025 annual report (filed on April 7, 2026) confirmed a dramatic worsening across all key metrics:
| Metric | FY2024 | FY2025 | YoY Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue | ₩20.96B KRW (~₩210억) | ₩13.71B KRW (~₩137억) | ▼ -34.6% |
| Operating Income | -₩1.79B KRW (loss) | -₩2.91B KRW (loss) | ▼ -62.6% (larger loss) |
| Net Income | -₩15.50B KRW (loss) | -₩37.69B KRW (loss) | ▼ -143% (2.4× worse) |
| Total Assets | ₩129.28B KRW | ₩38.21B KRW | ▼ -70.4% |
| Total Debt | ₩59.70B KRW | ₩17.18B KRW | ▼ -71.2% |
| Equity | ₩69.57B KRW | ₩21.03B KRW | ▼ -69.8% |
| Retained Earnings (Deficit) | -₩75.07B KRW | -₩41.94B KRW | Accumulated deficit deepening |
| Current Ratio | ~60.6% | ~124.8% | Improved (but context is poor) |
| Debt-to-Equity Ratio | ~85.8% | ~81.7% | Slightly improved |
While the debt-to-equity ratio of 81.7% and current ratio of 124.8% appear acceptable in isolation, these figures must be viewed in the context of continuous losses, rapidly shrinking assets, and unqualified audit opinions. The accumulated retained earnings deficit has grown to ₩41.94B KRW, highlighting years of value destruction. The company shows no credible path to operational profitability.

🎯 Investment Opinion
Rating: STRONG SELL / AVOID
TS Nexgen (043220) is currently uninvestable for any rational market participant. Shares are halted and cannot be traded. The company has triggered a formal delisting event following two consecutive years of unqualified audit opinions, and its FY2025 financials confirm accelerating financial deterioration with no credible path to recovery.
- Target Price: N/A (trading suspended)
- Stop-Loss: N/A (trading suspended)
- Key Risk: Full delisting from KOSDAQ — total loss of investment possible
Even if trading is temporarily reinstated before the final delisting ruling, any speculative price movement should be treated as an extreme high-risk gamble with the realistic probability of total capital loss. International investors should note the additional layer of currency risk on top of the fundamental delisting risk.
