    GENERATED

    VT Co Ltd maintains a conservative capital structure with a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.16 and a current ratio of 2.26, indicating strong short-term liquidity. The company holds cash and equivalents of 84.2 billion KRW against long-term debt of 38.4 billion KRW, resulting in a net cash position. Free cash flow stands at 65.4 billion KRW, exceeding operating cash flow of 49.7 billion KRW, driven by minimal capital expenditures of 4.8 billion KRW.

    Profitability metrics are robust, with a return on equity of 25.14% and a return on assets of 17.24%. The company generates a gross profit of 264.9 billion KRW on revenue of 437.2 billion KRW, yielding a gross margin of approximately 60.6%. Operating income is 82.3 billion KRW, leading to a net income of 60.9 billion KRW. Valuation multiples are compressed, with a price-to-earnings ratio of 7.15 and an EV/EBITDA of 4.73.

    Segment and geographic revenue breakdowns are not provided in the available data, preventing analysis of revenue concentration or regional exposure.

    Historical revenue and net income trends are not available in the input data, limiting the assessment of long-term growth trajectory.

    Risk assessment indicates low liquidity risk and low dilution risk, with no immediate filing-based flags detected. The shares outstanding basic and diluted counts are identical at 34.6 million, confirming no current dilution pressure from options or convertible securities.

    Recent analyst observations show a mean price target of 22,000 KRW, which is significantly higher than the current market price of 12,570 KRW. The mean recommendation is 2.00, with one buy rating and no strong buy or hold ratings recorded.

    Key takeaways
    • The company trades at a low P/E of 7.15 and EV/EBITDA of 4.73, suggesting potential undervaluation relative to earnings.
    • Strong balance sheet with a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.16 and a current ratio of 2.26.
    • High profitability with ROE of 25.14% and ROA of 17.24%.
    • Analyst consensus price target of 22,000 KRW implies significant upside from the current price of 12,570 KRW.
    • No dilution risk as basic and diluted shares are identical.
