Formetal Co Ltd

Industrial Machinery & EquipmentVerified

Formetal maintains a strong liquidity position with a current ratio of 2.62 and a cash and equivalents balance of 5,222.11 billion KRW, indicating sufficient short-term liquidity to cover obligations. The company's debt-to-equity ratio is 0.03, reflecting a conservative capital structure with minimal leverage. Profitability metrics show a return on equity (ROE) of 4.2% and a return on assets (ROA) of 3.47%, which are below the industry median for Industrial Machinery & Equipment firms. Gross profit of 6,489.10 billion KRW and operating income of 2,364.95 billion KRW suggest moderate operational efficiency, but the company lags in asset utilization and equity returns. Revenue is distributed across industrial, automotive, defense, and agricultural machinery segments, with no disclosed geographic concentration. The company operates in both domestic and international markets, though segment-specific revenue shares are not provided in the input data. Outlook for the current fiscal year indicates a revenue growth of 10.2% year-over-year, with a 6.8% increase in operating income. Capital expenditures are expected to remain negative at -672.88 billion KRW, reflecting ongoing investment in production capacity. Risk assessment shows low liquidity and dilution risk, with no immediate filing-based flags detected. The company's diluted shares remain unchanged at 11,847,232, and no dilution adjustments are applied in the valuation model. Recent financial filings and transcripts do not indicate material changes in business operations or strategic direction. The company continues to focus on expanding its industrial and defense product lines, with no disclosed regulatory or geopolitical disruptions in the near term.
