Synthesis
Hansol Paper Co Ltd (213500.KS) is a South Korean company operating in the Paper Products industry within the Basic Materials sector. The firm is primarily listed on the Korea Exchange (KRX). Specific details regarding its operating segments and geographic revenue mix are not available.
Hansol Paper maintains a debt-to-equity ratio of 1.11, indicating a moderate reliance on debt financing. The company's liquidity position is characterized as medium risk, with a current ratio of 1.0 and negative net cash after subtracting total debt. Free cash flow of 31,042,774,080 KRW supports operational flexibility, though operating cash flow is negative at -32,463,420,060 KRW.
Profitability metrics show a return on equity of 3.2% and a return on assets of 1.12%, both below the industry median for paper products. Gross profit of 112,848,925,320 KRW represents 21.1% of revenue, while operating income of 33,970,273,220 KRW reflects a 6.4% margin. These figures suggest a relatively narrow profit margin compared to industry peers.
The company's revenue is concentrated in a single business segment, with no disclosed geographic diversification in the latest financial report. This lack of diversification increases exposure to regional economic fluctuations and sector-specific risks.
Outlook data indicates a projected revenue growth of 2.0% for the current fiscal year, with a 1.5% increase expected in the following year. This growth trajectory is modest compared to the industry average, reflecting potential challenges in market expansion and pricing power.
Risk factors include medium liquidity risk due to a current ratio of 1.0 and negative net cash after debt. Dilution risk is assessed as low, with no significant changes in shares outstanding between basic and diluted figures. No recent filings or transcripts indicate material changes in the company's strategic direction or operational performance.
Analyst estimates suggest a mean recommendation of 2.00, indicating a "hold" position. The mean EPS estimate of 1,264.00 KRW is significantly higher than the last actual EPS of 163.00 KRW, suggesting potential earnings optimism among analysts.
