Mirae Asset Securities analyzed on the 6th that the key to OCI Holdings' second-half performance lies in the depletion period of U.S. solar inventory, and expects strong demand to boost next year's results.


Lee Jin-ho, a researcher at Mirae Asset Securities, stated in a report on the same day, "OCI Holdings' valuation applied a 12-month forward price-to-earnings ratio (PER) of 5, which is 50% discounted from the peer average of 10 times considering market conditions," adding, "The valuation is still at an absolutely undervalued level."


Researcher Lee Jin-ho said, "The Malaysian subsidiary OCIM (polysilicon) performed well with a high operating rate of 90% in April and May," and "In the third quarter, OCI Holdings is expected to record an operating profit of 104 billion KRW, a 16% increase from the previous quarter, by selling solar projects to Hyundai Engineering."



However, it is analyzed that OCIM's profitability is likely to slightly decline as the operating rate is expected to remain around 60% until the end of the second half when U.S. inventory is depleted.
