Lumens Q2 Earnings: Understanding the Shock

Lumens reported KRW 36.7 billion in revenue, KRW 2 billion operating loss, and KRW 5 billion net loss for Q2 2025. These figures significantly missed market expectations, compounding the negative impact of declining sales from Q1 and the failure to achieve profitability.

Why the Underperformance?

The slump in Lumens’ core LED business is the primary culprit. Increased market competition and oversupply led to a sharp decline in sales. The LGP business also suffered a direct hit from the slowdown in the LCD TV market. Although the automotive electronics division holds growth potential, it currently faces declining sales.

Action Plan for Investors

Downward pressure on stock prices is expected in the short term, necessitating a conservative investment approach. In the medium to long term, a turnaround in the LED business and the performance of new ventures (like Micro LED) will be key variables. Investors should carefully evaluate concrete drivers of earnings improvement before making decisions.

What’s the Outlook for Lumens?

Lumens is actively pursuing future growth engines through investment in next-generation technologies and business diversification. However, overcoming the current downturn and achieving tangible results from new ventures will require time and effort. Continuous monitoring of market conditions and company disclosures, coupled with prudent investment decisions, is crucial.
