Valuation Update With 7 Day Price Move • Jun 15
Investor sentiment improves as stock rises 16% After last week's 16% share price gain to ₩24,000, the stock trades at a trailing P/E ratio of 5.9x. Average trailing P/E is 8x in the Luxury industry in South Korea. Total returns to shareholders of 61% over the past three years. New Risk • May 28
New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 1.7% per year over the past 5 years. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are declining over an extended period, then in most cases the share price will decline over time unless the company can turn around its fortunes. A trend of falling earnings can be very difficult to turn around. If the company is well already established it may also be a sign the company has matured and is in decline. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company. Upcoming Dividend • Mar 23
