Leading Investment & Securities analyzed on the 24th that Exicon is expected to grow as a semiconductor testing equipment company. No investment opinion or target price was provided.

Yoo Sung-man, a researcher at Leading Investment & Securities, said, "Exicon supplies memory semiconductor testing equipment to Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix," adding, "As the AI market blossoms, the demand for 'high-speed & high-capacity memory module testers' will increase, and as the transition from DDR4 to DDR5 accelerates, the company's memory inspection equipment sales will grow."

Along with this, growth in semiconductor non-memory inspection equipment is expected as a new growth driver. Exicon is conducting tests for major clients after completing technology development related to 'non-memory SoC (System on Chip) inspection equipment' to secure additional growth drivers. He explained, "If good results come out from the major client tests related to 'non-memory SoC inspection equipment,' sales related to non-memory inspection equipment will begin from the second half of next year."

Leading Investment & Securities forecasted that Exicon will record sales of 102.7 billion KRW and operating profit of 12.4 billion KRW this year, representing increases of 63.2% and 21.0% respectively compared to the previous year. He emphasized, "With SSD inspection equipment as the main product, overall steady growth is expected," and added, "If good results come from Exicon's non-memory SoC related tests and sales to major clients are reflected, Exicon's performance is expected to enter a meaningful growth phase from the second half of next year."
