Operational Inflection Point in 1H26: Following a multi-year cyclical contraction driven by the conclusion of major legacy LCD fab migration contracts and customer destocking (2025 revenue of KRW 172.8bn; net income of KRW 1.3bn), quarterly financial performance demonstrated a clear operational rebound through 1H26, with Q2 2026 revenue expanding to KRW 53.4bn and net margin recovering to 4.58%.</li>
 <li>
Compelling Valuation Asymmetry with Balance Sheet Resilience: At the current price of KRW 3,205, YMC reflects deep-value characteristics (Smartkarma Value 5/5) supported by a 2.34% dividend yield, robust balance sheet resilience (Resilience 4/5), and significant upside leverage to Gen 8.6 IT OLED commercialization and high-margin SiC focus ring recycling expansion.</li>
