What Happened?
On July 22, 2025, DMP announced its 8th convertible bond exercise. A total of 1,308,044 shares (5.73% of market capitalization) were converted and are scheduled to be listed on August 12th.
Why Does It Matter?
The convertible bond exercise has a direct impact on DMP’s financial structure and stock price. While debt decreases and capital increases, the increased number of outstanding shares dilutes earnings per share (EPS). This can be particularly detrimental for DMP, which has already reported weak Q3 results (declining sales and continued net loss).
What’s Next?
Short-Term Outlook:
- Potential stock price decline due to EPS dilution
- Increased financial burden due to high financing costs
- Elevated short-term liquidity risk
Long-Term Outlook:
- Improved financial stability through restructuring
- Increased investment capacity for new businesses like drones and F&B
- Potential long-term growth driver if new ventures succeed
Investor Action Plan
Given the potential for increased short-term stock price volatility, a cautious investment approach is necessary. Investors should carefully analyze the likelihood of DMP’s new businesses succeeding, strategies to strengthen existing business competitiveness, external environmental changes, and short-term financial risks before making investment decisions.
