Let's review some notable picks from our screened stocks
Koh Young Technology (KOSDAQ:A098460)
Overview: Koh Young Technology Inc. specializes in the production and sale of automated inspection and precise measurement systems, operating both in South Korea and globally, with a market capitalization of approximately ₩843.47 billion.
Operations: The company generates its revenue from the production and sale of automated inspection and precise measurement systems, serving markets both domestically and internationally.
Estimated Discount To Fair Value: 14.5%
Koh Young Technology, trading at ₩12,820, is positioned below the estimated fair value of ₩15,000.32, reflecting potential undervaluation based on discounted cash flows. Despite a recent earnings dip with Q1 sales falling to KRW 53.03 billion from KRW 63.68 billion year-over-year and net income decreasing to KRW 7.28 billion, the company's aggressive share buyback strategy signals confidence in its intrinsic value. However, concerns linger due to unstable dividends and lower profit margins compared to last year (7.8% vs 15.1%). The forecast suggests robust earnings growth at an annual rate of 38.24%, outpacing the market prediction of 28.8%, but revenue growth projections are modest at 13.8% annually.
- According our earnings growth report, there's an indication that Koh Young Technology might be ready to expand.
