Soosan Sebotics is a company that makes and sells machinery and equipment, and as a small- to mid-cap with a market capitalization of ₩107.0 billion, the picture becomes clearer when you watch both the flow of the business and the effect individual disclosures have on results and the share count. A February 2026 disclosure reported full-year revenue of ₩229.4 billion, operating profit of ₩19.0 billion, and net profit of ₩15.8 billion, showing a strong earnings recovery, and the May quarterly report confirmed Q1 revenue of ₩47.3 billion, operating profit of ₩2.8 billion, and net profit of ₩2.9 billion. What stands out recently is that both operating and net profit recovered sharply and the finances are stable, yet the share price is cheap relative to earnings and book value at a P/E of 6.75x and P/B of 0.54x; on the other hand, Q1 revenue and operating profit fell year on year, so the recovery is pausing for a beat, and it needs confirmation whether this slowdown is temporary.

🔎 In-depth analysis
- Soosan Sebotics is a company that makes machinery and equipment.
- The site's practical classification is also machinery and equipment.
- As a small company with a market capitalization of ₩107.0 billion, the picture becomes clearer when you watch not only the flow of the business itself but also the effect a single disclosure has on revenue, earnings, and the share count.
- The latest close is ₩1,705 and market capitalization is ₩106.4 billion.
- The price sits below the 20-day line (₩2,041) and below the 60-day line (₩2,653).
- Trading below both its short- and mid-term moving averages, the trend is on the subdued side.
- RSI (an auxiliary gauge that scores upward versus downward momentum over the past 14 days on a 0-100 scale) is 33.2, at a neutral level.
- The one-month change is -30.1%, the three-month change is -18.0%, and the position versus the 52-week high is -55.8%.
- Relative strength versus the KOSPI is 33 (1-99, computed from returns against the index over the past year with more weight on recent performance; higher means stronger than the market).
- This places it in roughly the top 67% of all stocks by strength.
- Over the past three months it lagged the index by 49.1%.
- Chart reading is best done alongside trading volume and disclosure dates.
- Recent full-year revenue was ₩229.4 billion, operating profit ₩19.0 billion, and net profit ₩15.8 billion.
- The operating margin is 8.3%, and ROE (how much is earned per year on equity) is 7.9%, above the sector average.
- The debt ratio (debt versus equity) is 134.3%, but the current ratio (assets convertible to cash versus debt due within a year) is 229% and the interest coverage ratio (how many times operating profit can cover interest) is 12.5x, so its capacity to carry debt is on the ample side, and the diagnosis is "stable." The P/E ratio (how many times one year's earnings the share price is) is 6.72x and P/B (how many times book value the share price is) is 0.53x, so the share price is cheap relative to both earnings and assets.
- The forward P/E is 10.15x, which is the result of assuming this year's earnings at a more normal level given that last year was a year of sharply recovered earnings; so a low trailing (based on last year's results) metric is not in itself a reason to see a burden.
- Revenue rose again to ₩229.4 billion in 2025 from ₩226.5 billion in 2023 and ₩197.9 billion in 2024, up 15.9% year on year.
- The earnings recovery is especially clear: operating profit rose 57.2% from ₩12.1 billion to ₩19.0 billion, and net profit rose 71.7% from ₩9.2 billion to ₩15.8 billion.
- This is a flow in which profitability that had fallen a year earlier revived quickly.
- The most recent quarter (Q1 2026) was revenue of ₩47.3 billion, operating profit of ₩2.8 billion, and net profit of ₩2.9 billion, softening somewhat with revenue -2.0% and operating profit -19.0% year on year.
- This year's outlook is seen at around revenue of ₩189.0 billion, operating profit of ₩11.1 billion, and net profit of ₩10.5 billion, a figure that reflects earnings strength flattening a notch from last year's recovery peak.
- Set against the current share price, this outlook implies a forward P/E of 10.15x, showing that even if earnings return to a normal level, the price is not in an unreasonably expensive range.
- On 2026-02-20, a disclosure of a revenue or profit-structure change of 30% or more (15% for large corporations) reported full-year revenue of ₩229.4 billion, operating profit of ₩19.0 billion, and net profit of ₩15.8 billion.
- As material officially confirming that earnings rose sharply, it is worth checking whether it moves in the same direction as the annual trend and whether there are one-off factors.
- On 2026-02-26, a cash/in-kind dividend decision disclosure was made, letting you check the terms of returning cash to shareholders, and it is worth seeing whether earnings and cash flow support it.
- The 2026-05-15 quarterly report (2026.03) confirmed Q1 revenue of ₩47.3 billion, operating profit of ₩2.8 billion, and net profit of ₩2.9 billion.
- It is worth watching whether it moves in the same direction as the annual trend and whether one quarter's slowdown is temporary or continues.
- The strengths are clear.
- Last year's earnings recovered by more than 50-70% in both operating and net profit, debt, liquidity, and interest burden are all sound so the finances are stable, and yet the share price is cheap relative to both earnings and book value at a P/E of 6.75x and P/B of 0.54x.
- In peer comparison, too, the valuation diagnosis is "undervalued." The points to note are that Q1 revenue and operating profit fell year on year, so the recovery is pausing for a beat, and that, as a small company, a single disclosure (a results change, financing, and so on) can swing the metrics considerably.
- In sum, if last year's earnings recovery continues this year and the quarterly slowdown is temporary, the cheap valuation gains traction; conversely, if the quarterly slowdown drags on, it is a stretch in which the pace of recovery is being tested.

Within machinery and equipment, we first looked at a public-data peer set close by market capitalization. The current P/E ratio (how many times one year's earnings the share price is) is 6.72x and P/B (how many times book value the share price is) is 0.53x. That said, for lower-market-cap names, earnings swings and financing disclosures carry a large effect, so we did not draw firm conclusions from metrics based on last year's confirmed results alone. The basis for the outlook box is a DART seasonality approximation.

Price history Close · MA20 · MA60
The latest close is ₩1,705 and the market capitalization is ₩106.4 billion. The price sits below its 20-day moving average (₩2,041) and below its 60-day moving average (₩2,653). It is under both its short- and medium-term moving averages, so the trend looks subdued. The RSI (a supplementary indicator that gauges the strength of gains versus losses over the past 14 days on a 0-100 scale) is 33.2, a neutral level. The one-month change is -30.1%, the three-month change is -18.0%, and the position relative to the 52-week high is -55.8%. Relative strength versus the KOSPI is 33 (on a 1-99 scale, converted from returns against the index over the past year with more weight on recent performance; higher means stronger than the market). It is stronger than roughly 33% of all stocks. Over the past three months it lagged the index by 49.1%. Chart interpretation is best done alongside trading volume and the dates on which disclosures occur.

Key metrics vs sector median
Valuation
The P/E of 6.72x is below the sector median (14.44x). The P/B of 0.53x is below the sector median (1.44x). Both metrics are low versus peers, so the price is not expensive relative to earnings and assets.
Enterprise value (EV)
EV = market cap + net debt. It reflects cash and debt, so it captures the real cost of the whole business that market cap alone misses; lower multiples are cheaper relative to earnings or sales.
Intrinsic value (DCF estimate)
DCF (discounted cash flow) estimate — discount rate 10.1%, initial growth 2.0%→terminal 2.0%, 10-yr forecast, earnings-based. A reference range that shifts materially with assumptions.
Profitability & financials
Return on equity (ROE) is 7.9%, above the sector average (5.0%). The operating margin is 8.3%. The debt ratio is 134.3%, so the financial structure is moderate.

📖 Plain-language glossary — expand if you are new to this
- P/E
- How many times a year's net profit the price is worth (lower is cheaper relative to earnings). The P/E here is on trailing (last full-year) results; for companies whose earnings swing fast (memory chips and other cyclicals/high-growth), a forward P/E on this year's expected earnings is more accurate.
- P/B
- Price relative to net assets (equity). Around 1x means it trades near book value; below 1x means below book.
- P/S
- Price relative to a year's revenue — useful for growth companies with thin earnings.
- Net debt / EV
- Net debt = interest-bearing debt − cash. Negative means more cash than debt (net cash). EV (enterprise value) = market cap + net debt, closer to what it would cost to buy the whole business.
- EV/EBIT · EV/EBITDA · EV/Sales
- Enterprise value against operating profit (EBIT), EBITDA, or revenue. Unlike P/E these reflect debt and cash; lower is cheaper relative to earnings power or sales.
- FCF / FCF yield
- Free cash flow = operating cash − capex, the cash actually left over. FCF yield = FCF ÷ market cap; higher means more cash generated per unit of market value.
- Intrinsic value (DCF)
- Future free cash flow (or, for some capex-heavy but profitable names, forecast earnings) discounted to today to estimate per-share value. Because it shifts a lot with the discount-rate and growth assumptions, it is shown as a bear/base/bull range, and the basis and assumptions are disclosed in one line beneath it.
- ROE
- How much profit the company earns in a year on its equity (%). Higher means better returns on capital.
- EPS / BPS
- Earnings per share / net assets (book value) per share.
- Operating / net margin
- Profit left from the core business / final profit after tax and interest, per unit of revenue.
- Debt ratio
- Debt relative to equity (%). Higher means more reliance on borrowing (norms vary by sector).
- Current ratio
- Assets convertible to cash within a year against debt due within a year. Above 100% leaves some short-term headroom.
- Interest coverage
- How many times operating profit covers the interest owed. Below 1x means operating profit alone struggles to cover interest.
- Dividend yield / payout ratio
- The year's dividend as a % of today's price / the share of earnings paid out as dividends.
- Revenue CAGR
- Multi-year growth expressed as a single yearly average (compound annual growth rate).
- RSI (short-term signal)
- Whether recent price action is overheated or beaten down. Above 70 is overbought, below 30 oversold.
- MA20 / MA60 (moving averages)
- The 20- and 60-day average price. Price above them signals a firmer short-term trend.
- vs 52-week high
- How far below the past year's peak the price sits now (%).
