[Featured Stock] Orion, Confident in Outstanding Earnings, Rises Over 5% Intraday

[Asia Economy Reporter Minji Lee] Orion is rising more than 5% intraday, buoyed by expectations of improved earnings despite the sluggish domestic stock market environment.

At 9:50 a.m. on the 17th, Orion was trading at 106,000 won, up 5.47% from the previous trading day. This reflects the market's anticipation of solid earnings.

Previously, Orion announced that its combined sales and operating profit across four countries (Korea, China, Vietnam, Russia) reached 220.2 billion won and 36.3 billion won respectively, marking increases of 27% and 90% compared to the same period last year.

Although inflation increased costs and selling and administrative expenses, efforts to control expenses and sales growth significantly boosted profitability. Yumi Kim, a researcher at Cape Investment & Securities, explained, “It is encouraging that these results were achieved while minimizing price increases during the big price hike cycle in the food and beverage industry over the past 2-3 years.” She added, “Attention should be paid to the fact that the current stock valuation is relatively undervalued.”
