ResearchAlum, Regular Publication of Unlisted Company Reports... "Don't Make Blind Investments"

[Asia Economy Reporter Hyungsoo Park] Independent research firm 'Research Alom' is set to begin in-depth analysis of domestic unlisted companies.

Research Alom announced on the 28th that it plans to publish regular reports on related companies as interest in unlisted companies grows among individual investors.

According to the Korea Financial Investment Association, the K-OTC market size has nearly doubled from 17 trillion won in March to 34 trillion won as of the 19th, within just seven months. Experts analyze that the increase in platforms allowing trading of unlisted stocks has improved accessibility, driving investment demand.

Although demand for unlisted investments is rising, corporate analysis reports for individual investors are hard to find. With relatively difficult access to objective information, concerns about 'blind investments' are also significant.

Research Alom will provide analysis reports on unlisted companies twice a week through company visits and conference calls. The reports will offer investment data by comparing similar companies listed on the domestic stock market. They are also recruiting professional researchers equipped with the capability to assess technology, performance, and growth potential.

Lee Donghyun, CEO of Research Alom, explained, "Interest in unlisted stocks among individual investors is hot due to the public offering craze," adding, "There is a lack of professional analysis materials accessible to individuals." He further stated, "By providing independent and unbiased analysis data through an independent research center, we aim to improve individual investors' accessibility to unlisted investments."

Research Alom published DataStreams, a KONEX-listed company, as its first unlisted company report. It introduced DataStreams as a data solution company with outstanding technology targeting overseas markets. WISEiTech, Vibe Company, Saltlux, and Kukon were presented as comparison targets.

Research Alom publishes reports twice a week on small and mid-cap stocks with a market capitalization under 500 billion won. It helps individual investors discover undervalued stocks with low market interest early and invest from a mid- to long-term perspective. In March, it analyzed Woori Technology Investment and Hanwha Investment & Securities, related to Dunamu (Upbit). It also discovered stocks such as POSCO Kangpan, JC Chemical, and EasyCareTech, which attracted market attention.
