ResearchAlum "Find Companies with Future Growth Potential"

[Asia Economy Reporter Hyungsoo Park] Independent research firm ResearchAlum's recommended promising stocks have consecutively recorded high stock price increases, attracting investors' attention.

Choi Seonghwan, CEO of ResearchAlum, stated on the 25th, "There is more peripheral capital in the domestic stock market than ever before, but it is difficult to generate profits with investment methods known to everyone." He added, "Investing in companies with future growth potential will yield high returns."

POSCO Kangpan recorded a 'surprise performance' in the first quarter of this year. At a time when there were no analysts analyzing POSCO Kangpan in Yeouido's securities sector, ResearchAlum anticipated strong earnings due to product price increases and predicted a rise in stock price. ResearchAlum published an analysis report on POSCO Kangpan on February 22. CEO Choi analyzed, "The price of cold-rolled steel sheets used in automobiles and construction sites is soaring," and "POSCO Kangpan's profitability will improve by processing cold-rolled steel sheets into color-coated steel sheets and selling them." He also forecasted, "They are preparing various parts applicable to electric vehicles," and "They will have new growth engines."

At the time of recommending POSCO Kangpan, the stock price was 18,100 KRW, but the closing price on the 23rd rose sharply to 47,400 KRW, an increase of 161.9%. The market capitalization grew from 108.6 billion KRW to 284.4 billion KRW.

ResearchAlum was also the first to discover the 'Dunamu-related stocks' recently attracting market attention. On the 16th of last month, ResearchAlum focused on Hanwha Investment & Securities and Wooree Technology Investment, which hold shares in Dunamu, the operator of Upbit, the largest cryptocurrency exchange in Korea.

Since Coupang's listing on the New York Stock Exchange, investors have been searching for the 'Next Coupang.' ResearchAlum analyzed that if Dunamu enters the U.S. stock market, its corporate value could reach 10 trillion KRW. They noted that Dunamu's daily trading volume is considerable compared to Coinbase, the number one cryptocurrency exchange in the U.S. Expectations for Dunamu's corporate value increased alongside Coinbase's listing period, and the stock prices of Hanwha Investment & Securities and Wooree Technology Investment more than doubled in a short period.

Recently, ResearchAlum identified NFT (Non-Fungible Token) as a future growth theme. Unlike Bitcoin, which can be traded at identical value, NFTs are characterized by their uniqueness and non-replicability, granting exclusive ownership.

Global NFT transaction volume, which was only 250 million USD last year, recorded 340 million USD in February alone. ResearchAlum selected Wemade and Seoul Auction as promising companies related to NFTs. Wemade plans to establish an exchange for trading NFT game items within the first half of this year, and Seoul Auction is preparing to build a digital art auction system through its subsidiary, both evaluated as having future growth potential.

ResearchAlum is considering ideas to release differentiated analysis reports from securities firms' research centers. On the 23rd of last month, they published a report titled "Stories Even Securities Analysts Don't Know" related to Daishin Securities. The report covered the resolution of lawsuits between residents and Daishin Securities regarding the sales method of Seoul Nine One Hannam, confirming early sales. Along with analysis that the second quarter operating profit will reach 450 billion KRW and the company has aggressive dividends, Daishin Securities' stock price has continued a steep upward trend.
