Yuil Robotics (388720) 🔎 In-depth
KOSDAQ · Price as of 2026-08-06 · Updated 2026-08-09
Yuil Robotics supplies bundled automation peripherals for plastic injection-molding processes — auto-feeding, take-out robots, and cooling — and adds its own articulated and collaborative robots. Its end markets split roughly into automobiles at about 32%, home appliances at about 28%, and cosmetics at about 15%, and it is broadening into food-tech and U.S.-bound industrial equipment. In February 2026 it signed a contract to supply two vacuum vapor-drying furnaces to HD Hyundai's U.S. transformer entity (about ₩5.9 billion, equal to 16.85% of recent annual revenue), widening its customer base into industrial plant equipment, while a new-plant move and headcount expansion weighed on results as near-term costs. What stands out most recently is that net cash, ample liquidity, its own robotics technology, and a portfolio expanding into U.S. industrial equipment are strengths, whereas the company is currently loss-making, so investors must confirm through quarterly results whether the expansion investment returns as revenue and profit; if order digestion lags or costs run ahead, losses could continue.

Core valuation metric
This stock's effective sub-sector is “Robotics” (Shipbuilding, Machinery, Defense & Power Equipment · Machinery), a type typically read first through EV/Sales.
Robotics is an early-stage growth market, so revenue can rise while profit stays thin or negative under heavy R&D and capital spending. Earnings-based multiples distort in that setting, so enterprise-value-to-sales (EV/Sales, alongside price-to-sales) is the first lens.
Price against earnings alone becomes unstable when earnings swing. Reading it together with price against assets helps gauge the downside.
That said, earnings are swinging with the industry cycle right now, so this metric is best viewed alongside asset value and the demand backdrop.

🔎 In-depth analysis Reading
Yuil Robotics mainly makes automation peripherals used in plastic injection-molding processes. It supplies, as a bundle, equipment that feeds raw material into the injection machine (auto-feeding), removes finished parts (take-out robots), and cools the mold (cooling). To this it adds its own in-house articulated industrial robots and collaborative robots (robots built to work alongside people). Its end markets split into automobiles at about 32%, home appliances at about 28%, and cosmetics at about 15%, and it has recently been broadening into food-tech systems and U.S.-bound industrial equipment.
The latest close is ₩71,700 and the market capitalization is ₩844.7 billion. The price sits above its 20-day moving average (₩63,830) and below its 60-day moving average (₩77,595). Short-term and medium-term trends are diverging, so the direction is best read separately. The RSI (a supplementary indicator that gauges the strength of gains versus losses over the past 14 days on a 0-100 scale) is 54.6, a neutral level. The one-month change is +1.4%, the three-month change is -29.1%, and the position relative to the 52-week high is -52.4%. Relative strength versus the KOSDAQ is 54 (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 54% of all stocks. Over the past three months it outpaced the index by 8.8%. Chart interpretation is best done alongside trading volume and the dates on which disclosures occur.
The P/E (how many times a year's profit the share price is) cannot be calculated because the company is loss-making. The P/B (how many times net assets the share price is) is 9.04x. The P/S (how many times annual revenue the share price is) is a somewhat high 21.6x. Profitability is negative: last year's operating margin was -34.2% and ROE (how much is earned on equity in a year) was -27.5%. Financial stability, however, is not bad. The current ratio (cash-like assets against debt due within a year) is an ample 239%, and net debt (total borrowings minus cash) is negative — that is, it holds more cash than debt, a net-cash position. FCF yield (the ratio of cash actually earned to market cap) is -2.5%, showing an expansion phase in which cash flows out as money is spent on facilities and staff.
Revenue growth is moderate. Last year's revenue of ₩36.9 billion was up 5.0% from the prior year, and the three-year average sits at about 12%. The problem is profit. Last year operating profit swung from a small surplus (₩0.4 billion) to a loss (-₩12.6 billion), and the net loss widened to -₩24.7 billion. Taking the company's explanation and disclosures together, the key driver was one-off costs from the move to the new Cheongna plant and the expansion of manufacturing and R&D staff to build capacity, which sharply raised costs. The first quarter of this year was also weak, with revenue of ₩4.6 billion (-54.7%) and a net loss of -₩8.0 billion. Future profit hinges on the new plant's utilization and the pace of order digestion, and no confirmed full-year target announced by the company has been verified.
Two threads sit at the center of the recent story. One is U.S.-bound industrial-equipment orders. In February 2026 the company signed a contract to supply two vacuum vapor-drying furnaces (units 4 and 5) to HD Hyundai's U.S. transformer entity, worth about ₩5.9 billion, equal to 16.85% of recent annual revenue — a case of broadening its customer base beyond robots and injection into industrial plant equipment. The other is expansion investment: the new-plant move and headcount buildup were booked as near-term costs and weighed on results. No shareholder-return disclosures such as dividends or treasury stock have been confirmed.
The strengths and weaknesses are distinct. The strengths are net cash and ample liquidity, its own robotics and automation technology, and an end-market portfolio widening even into U.S. industrial equipment. The weakness is the fact that it is currently loss-making. With losses large last year and in the first quarter of this year, investors must confirm through actual quarterly results whether the expansion investment returns as revenue and profit. If new-plant utilization rises and orders are recognized as revenue, the direction of profit could turn. Conversely, if order digestion lags or costs keep running ahead, losses could persist. In short, 'the speed at which expansion converts into results' is the key yardstick for this company.
🔎 Valuation vs peers Inconclusive
Domestically listed robotics and automation companies (compared by P/B rather than P/E, given the loss-making period).
| Peer | P/E | P/B | ROE |
|---|---|---|---|
| Doosan Robotics | 0.00x | 13.44x | -15.92% |
| Yujin Robot | 0.00x | 20.15x | -24.32% |
Because the company is loss-making, the P/E cannot be calculated, so it is impossible to call the stock cheap or expensive on an earnings basis. Looked at by P/B instead, its 8.9x is lower than the robotics cohort (Doosan Robotics 15.49x, Yujin Robot 18.0x). However, all three are loss-making, so the net-asset premium is a value carrying growth expectations. The P/S of 21.6x is high relative to revenue. Whether the current valuation succeeds hinges on whether the expansion investment converts into actual profit, so until profit is confirmed it is reasonable to hold judgment.

Key metrics Computed vs sector median
Valuation
A net loss makes the P/E an unreliable valuation gauge. The P/B of 9.04x is above the sector median (4.51x).
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.
Profitability & financials
The operating margin is -34.2%. The debt ratio is 16.2%, so the financial structure is stable.

📖 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 (%).
