Xavis Achieves Profitability, But… Reasons for Concern Remain
Xavis recorded an operating profit of KRW 150 million in the first half of 2025, successfully turning to profit. This is the result of increased orders for secondary battery inspection equipment and cost efficiency efforts. However, the decline in sales compared to the same period of the previous year, continued net loss, and high debt ratio weigh on investors’ minds.
Growth of the Secondary Battery Market: Will it Brighten Xavis’ Future?
Based on its unique technology in the X-ray inspection equipment field, Xavis has secured a competitive edge in various industries, including secondary batteries, semiconductors, and food contaminant inspection. In particular, the high-growth secondary battery and semiconductor inspection equipment markets are attracting attention as Xavis’ future growth engines. However, dependence on major customers and uncertainty in new businesses still act as risk factors.
Action Plan for Investors: Should You Invest in Xavis Now?
- Short-term Investment: Utilize positive momentum and market conditions, but a cautious approach considering financial risks is necessary.
- Mid- to Long-term Investment: Continuously monitor the growth of the secondary battery and semiconductor markets, new business performance, and financial structure improvement.
Macroeconomic Impact on Xavis
Recent fluctuations in the KRW/USD exchange rate, the continuation of high interest rates, and changes in oil prices and freight rates can affect Xavis’ performance. In particular, exchange rate fluctuations can bring foreign exchange gains or losses to Xavis as an exporting company, and high interest rates can be burdensome due to increased financing costs.
