Suheung Co Ltd
Suheung Co Ltd maintains a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.89, indicating a moderate reliance on debt financing. The company's liquidity position is characterized as medium, with a current ratio of 1.27, suggesting it can cover its short-term obligations but with limited buffer. The company's cash and equivalents amount to 48,157,831,030 KRW, which is insufficient to cover its long-term debt of 435,080,435,510 KRW, resulting in a net cash deficit. In terms of profitability, Suheung Co Ltd reports a return on equity (ROE) of 8.9% and a return on assets (ROA) of 4.1%. These figures are below the industry median for Specialty Chemicals, which typically sees ROE and ROA in the 10-12% and 5-6% ranges, respectively. The company's operating margin is 6.85% (calculated from operating income of 49,496,950,450 KRW on revenue of 722,308,593,850 KRW), which is also below the industry median of 7.5%. The company's revenue is distributed across three segments: Capsule, Raw Material, and Cosmetics. The Capsule segment is the primary revenue driver, with the Raw Material and Cosmetics segments contributing to a lesser extent. Geographically, the company is heavily concentrated in South Korea, with no significant international revenue disclosed in the latest financials. Suheung Co Ltd's growth trajectory is modest, with analysts forecasting a mean revenue estimate of 767,500,000,000 KRW for the current fiscal year, representing a 6.3% increase from the last actual revenue of 722,308,590,000 KRW. The company's capital expenditure of -45,588,780,220 KRW indicates a reduction in investment, which may signal a focus on cost optimization rather than expansion. The company's risk profile is characterized by medium liquidity risk and low dilution risk. The key flag of net cash being negative after subtracting total debt highlights the company's leverage risk. However, the low dilution risk suggests that the company is not expected to issue additional shares in the near term, preserving shareholder value. Recent events include the publication of the latest financial snapshot, which provides updated figures for revenue, gross profit, and operating income. Analyst estimates for the upcoming fiscal year indicate a slight increase in revenue and earnings, but the company must manage its debt load to maintain financial stability.
