Looking at the growth trajectory, Posco M-Tech has reported a revenue of KRW 80,569,005,520 in the latest period. While the company has a history of stable revenue, the outlook for the next fiscal year is uncertain due to the negative operating cash flow and the capital-intensive nature of the industry.
