[Click-e Stock] "Korea Cast Iron Pipe Industry Expected to Maintain Market Cap of 50 Billion Won by 2027"

Research Alarm stated on March 31 that Korea Cast Iron Pipe Industry Co., Ltd. is expected to maintain a market capitalization of 50 billion won by 2027, setting a target share price of 3,500 won.

Choi Seonghwan, an analyst at Research Alarm, said in a report released on the same day, "Although the company is currently undervalued with a market capitalization around 20 billion won, its financial stability is high due to debt-free management." He added, "We view the recent cancellation of treasury shares as a positive indication of the company's commitment to enhancing shareholder value."

Korea Cast Iron Pipe Industry Co., Ltd. supplies products to a variety of sectors—including ship components, power generation facilities, and industrial machinery—leveraging its large-scale cast steel manufacturing capabilities and advanced process technology. The company is upgrading its business portfolio by expanding the proportion of high value-added products. This year, the sales composition is estimated to be 60% cast steel and 40% scrap metal.

The cast steel segment is experiencing an improved order environment alongside the recovery of downstream industries. In addition, with the expansion of global energy infrastructure investment and the recovery of the shipbuilding and plant sectors, mid- to long-term demand growth is anticipated. Notably, the company is moving beyond its traditional shipbuilding-focused revenue structure, expanding its customer base to include power generation and offshore plants, which is leading to an improved product mix. This not only increases sales volume but also enhances profitability.

Analyst Choi commented, "If the company continues proactive IR communication with the market in the future, its share price is likely to exhibit a gradual revaluation trend and an upward trajectory."
