[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jihwan] IBK Investment & Securities on the 23rd issued a 'Buy' investment opinion and a target price of 5,600 KRW for Hansol Holdings, stating that the results of the restructuring efforts will help enhance shareholder value.

Kim Jangwon, a researcher at IBK Investment & Securities, said, "Since Hansol Holdings transitioned to a holding company, there have been considerable changes in its governance structure," adding, "Following Artone Paper, Hansol Syntec, and Hansol Development, Hansol EM was also excluded from subsidiaries this year." Until now, the major restructuring aimed at improving profitability targeted companies with low or unstable earnings, but going forward, changes will mainly focus on growth.

Researcher Kim explained, "Logistics acquired a small logistics company, the paper division shifted its product lineup to profitable specialty paper, and Technics reorganized low-profit businesses, representing changes aimed at improving profitability."

Such changes are also analyzed to significantly contribute to enhancing shareholder value. He emphasized, "The nearly 70 billion KRW in cash Hansol Holdings obtained from selling affiliate shares could be used as investment funds for its own business or to acquire additional shares in affiliates with high growth potential," adding, "This is expected to benefit shareholder value."
