WCP Q2 Earnings: What Happened?
WCP’s Q2 revenue reached 38.2 billion KRW, a 134% surge compared to Q1. Despite this growth, the company recorded an operating loss of 26 billion KRW and a net loss of 28 billion KRW.
Why the Continued Losses?
The persistence of losses despite revenue growth stems from a combination of factors:
- External Factors: Uncertainties in the EV market, fluctuations in raw material prices, and changes in exchange rates and interest rates negatively impacted profitability.
- Internal Factors: Inefficiencies in cost structure and potential price reductions also contributed to the losses.
What’s Next for WCP?
WCP’s future performance hinges on several key factors, including the detailed Q2 report, the pace of EV market recovery, and the stabilization of raw material prices and exchange rates. The company needs to focus on maintaining its competitive edge, such as its 5.5m wide web production technology, while implementing concrete strategies to improve profitability.

- Thoroughly analyze the detailed Q2 report to understand the specific reasons for the underperformance.
