What Happened?

Jinsung T.E.C. released its preliminary Q2 2025 earnings on August 14, 2025. While revenue was in line with expectations at ₩116.7 billion, operating profit significantly exceeded forecasts at ₩14.6 billion, a remarkable 34% beat. Net income was lower than expected at ₩6.4 billion, but the substantial improvement in operating profit paints a positive picture of the company’s overall performance.

Why the Surge in Profits?

This strong performance is attributed to increased orders, primarily from the Americas, and improved productivity. The recovery of the North American construction market and increased infrastructure investments have significantly boosted Jinsung T.E.C.’s results. For the first half of 2025, operating profit soared by an impressive 99.2% year-over-year to ₩23.7 billion. The company’s stable, export-oriented revenue structure (86.6% of total revenue) and global production network are also key contributing factors.

Should You Invest Now?

The short-term outlook is positive. The strong Q2 earnings are likely to have a positive impact on the stock price. The mid-to-long-term outlook is also promising, driven by growth in the Americas and the expansion of the global production network. However, investors should consider potential risks, including global economic instability, rising interest rates, and exchange rate fluctuations.

Action Plan for Investors

  • Short-Term Investment: Capitalize on the potential short-term stock price increase driven by the positive Q2 earnings announcement. However, proceed with caution, considering macroeconomic factors.
  • Mid-to-Long-Term Investment: Continuously monitor the company’s ability to maintain its improved profitability, the growth potential of its new businesses (such as fuel cell components), and global economic slowdown and exchange rate volatility.
