Synthesis
Hanwha AeroSpace Co Ltd (012450.KS) is a South Korean aerospace and defense manufacturer listed on the Korea Exchange. The company operates within the Industrials sector, focusing on the design and production of aerospace and defense systems. Specific details regarding its operating segments and geographic revenue mix are not disclosed in the available data.
Hanwha AeroSpace maintains a capital structure characterized by significant leverage, with total liabilities of 44.27 trillion KRW against total equity of 9.68 trillion KRW. The debt-to-equity ratio stands at 1.33, and long-term debt totals 12.84 trillion KRW. Liquidity is assessed as medium risk, supported by a current ratio of 1.02 and cash and equivalents of 3.97 trillion KRW. The company holds a net cash position that is negative after subtracting total debt, indicating reliance on debt financing for its asset base.
Profitability metrics show a return on equity of 16.3% and a return on assets of 2.93%. The company generated net income of 1.40 trillion KRW on revenue of 26.70 trillion KRW, resulting in an operating income of 3.09 trillion KRW. Valuation multiples reflect this profile, with a price-to-earnings ratio of 31.51 and an EV/EBITDA of 18.64. The price-to-book ratio is 5.14, suggesting the market values the company's equity at a premium to its book value.
Revenue concentration and segment details are not explicitly broken down in the available data, but the company's activity is defined broadly as Aerospace & Defense. Geographic exposure specifics are absent from the provided snapshot, limiting granular analysis of regional revenue mix. The business model relies on the disclosed aerospace and defense activities to drive its top-line growth of 26.70 trillion KRW.
Growth trajectory analysis is constrained by the absence of historical period data in the input, preventing a year-over-year or quarter-over-quarter trend assessment. The current financial snapshot provides a single-period view of revenue and net income, without comparative historical context to determine acceleration or deceleration.
Risk factors include medium liquidity risk and low dilution risk. A key flag notes that net cash is negative after subtracting total debt, highlighting balance sheet leverage. The current ratio of 1.02 indicates tight short-term liquidity coverage, requiring careful management of working capital.
Recent events are reflected in analyst sentiment, with a mean recommendation of 1.67 (strong buy) and a mean price target of 1,766,765 KRW. There are 8 strong-buy and 16 buy ratings, with no hold ratings, indicating strong consensus for upside potential. The high price target of 2,100,000 KRW suggests significant expected growth or re-rating by the market.
