Kolon reported second-quarter revenue growth, while Kolon stock gets a 5.80 percent margin test. IT BOLTWISE reported on October 7, 2026 that revenue reached KRW 1.71 trillion in the second quarter of 2026, up 13.50 percent year over year, while operating profit reached KRW 99.8 billion and net income KRW 55.4 billion. The figures put margin conversion ahead of revenue growth as the central test.

Three dated operating milestones

Todaystk described Kolon's first-half 2026 revenue at KRW 3.225 trillion on September 24, 2026, up 10.70 percent year over year, while operating profit rose 142.90 percent to KRW 198.6 billion. The half-year figures show that the second-quarter improvement formed part of a broader recovery in the first six months.

The second-quarter report followed on October 7, 2026, with KRW 1.71 trillion of revenue, KRW 99.8 billion of operating profit and a 5.80 percent operating margin. On October 13, 2026, Kolon Benit held its AX Boost Summit, where The Chosun Daily reported that the company presented a six-step artificial intelligence transformation method and cited more than 100 AI alliance participants.

What does the margin mean?

The KRW 99.8 billion operating result equals a 5.80 percent margin on KRW 1.71 trillion of second-quarter revenue. That relationship matters because the 13.50 percent revenue increase becomes more useful to shareholders when operating profit expands alongside sales rather than lagging behind them.

The comparison with the first quarter is also material. Finance data show second-quarter revenue of KRW 1.668 trillion and operating income of KRW 57.1 billion, versus first-quarter revenue of KRW 1.464 trillion and operating income of KRW 43.6 billion. Net income moved from KRW 12.6 billion in the first quarter to KRW 20.2 billion in the second quarter, although the operating recovery remains the more direct measure of business momentum.

November filing sets next date

Todaystk identifies November 16, 2026 as the filing deadline for Kolon's third-quarter report. That date gives the market a concrete checkpoint for testing whether the 5.80 percent second-quarter margin and KRW 99.8 billion operating profit can be extended into the July to September period.
