Taekwang (ISIN KR7003240009) was trading at KRW 926,000 on the Korea Exchange on October 7, 2026, up 1.20 percent from the prior close. The move came after the company shifted the end date of its KRW 145.0 billion aramid production-line expansion to November 30, 2026, according to Chickstock in a September 30, 2026 disclosure summary.

Aramid project reaches November date

The revised schedule keeps the investment tied to a planned capacity increase from 1,500 tons per year to 5,000 tons per year. The project therefore adds 3,500 tons of annual capacity, while the investment equals 3.65 percent of Taekwang's equity, the disclosure summary states.

The date change is the clearest operating signal around Taekwang this week. It extends the delivery timetable, but the planned capacity remains concrete and gives the advanced-materials business a measurable expansion target.

Revenue rises as operations stay pressured

Taekwang reported second-quarter 2026 revenue of KRW 557.7 billion, a 20.0 percent increase from the year-earlier quarter, while operating profit was negative KRW 1.1 billion. ATS View cites the DART-based figures for the quarter ended June 30, 2026.

The contrast matters for the expansion story: sales improved by KRW 93.0 billion from the year-earlier quarter, but the operating line remained negative. Second-quarter net income was KRW 58.5 billion, showing that reported earnings were supported by items beyond core operating profit.

Stock remains below yearly high

At KRW 926,000 on October 7, Taekwang was KRW 708,000 above its 52-week low and KRW 708,000 below its 52-week high of KRW 1,634,000. The session range was KRW 899,000 to KRW 928,000, with volume of 734 shares.

The market capitalization stood at KRW 779.4 billion on October 7. Taekwang is classified in Basic Materials and Chemicals, and its business spans petrochemicals, synthetic fibers, textiles and advanced materials, including aramid fibers.

Taekwang stock trades at KRW 926,000

Taekwang stock was last at KRW 926,000 on the Korea Exchange on October 7, 2026 at 1:06 p.m. KST. The combination of a 20.0 percent second-quarter revenue increase and a delayed capacity milestone leaves execution timing central to the investment case.
