Synthesis
PI Advanced Materials Co Ltd (178920.KS) is a South Korean company operating in the commodity chemicals industry within the broader chemicals sector. The firm is primarily listed on the Korea Exchange (KRX). Specific details regarding its operating segments and geographic revenue mix are not available.
PI Advanced Materials Co Ltd maintains a strong liquidity position, with a current ratio of 2.49 and cash and equivalents of 50,682,070,290 KRW. However, the company's net cash is negative after subtracting total debt, indicating potential liquidity constraints. The debt-to-equity ratio of 0.14 suggests a conservative capital structure, with total liabilities of 109,604,647,280 KRW compared to total equity of 355,154,473,590 KRW.
