Haesung DS Daily Chart

  • Moving Averages: The current price of 52,500 KRW sits below the 5-day (56,060), 20-day (61,160), and 60-day (74,672) moving averages — a fully bearish alignment (dead-cross arrangement) confirming a clear downtrend.

💰 Fundamental Analysis

MetricFY2024FY2025YoY
Revenue602.99 bn KRW653.40 bn KRW+8.4%
Operating Profit56.87 bn KRW46.49 bn KRW-18.3%
Net Income58.70 bn KRW23.82 bn KRW-59.4%

FY2025 revenue grew 8.4% year-on-year to 653.4 billion KRW, but profitability deteriorated significantly: operating profit fell 18.3% and net income plunged 59.4%. The debt-to-equity ratio stands at roughly 56% (total liabilities of 316.3 bn KRW against 564.4 bn KRW equity), keeping the balance sheet in healthy territory. While trailing valuation looks demanding after the earnings decline, brokerages project a strong 2026 rebound (Kyobo Securities forecasts operating profit +119%), which restores forward-looking valuation appeal.

Key DART Disclosures:

⚖️ Bull vs Bear Factors

Bull FactorsBear Factors
New CXMT order expands DDR5 substrate businessFY2025 net income plunged 59% — earnings momentum slowing
HBM & automotive semiconductor demand recovery lifts lead frames and substratesNational Pension Service cut its stake (7.23%→5.94%)
Multiple brokerage target-price hikes (90k–100k KRW) with Buy ratingsConcerns over memory substrate price cuts and industry volatility
Rising foreign ownership (18.29%→20.51%) improves supply-demandFully bearish moving-average alignment; downtrend intact

🎯 Investment Opinion

Rating: Buy (Confidence: Moderate)

Technically, the fully bearish alignment signals a clear downtrend and remains a headwind. However, the 52% correction from the May peak has largely relieved valuation pressure, and RSI is nearing oversold levels. The 2026 earnings-rebound story — driven by the new CXMT order and the recovery in HBM and automotive semiconductor demand — remains intact, supported by brokerage target prices of 90,000–100,000 KRW and improving foreign supply-demand. A phased (split) buying approach, confirming a reversal of the downtrend, is advisable.

  • Target Price (1st): 68,000 KRW (recovery toward the 60-day line)
  • Stop-Loss: 47,000 KRW (on a break below the 49,000 KRW support)
