Researcher Hwang said, "If the new Trump administration's policies of lowering oil prices and raising tariffs proceed, there is a risk of exposure to a decline in electricity rates (reduced power plant profits) and decreased demand for automobile tire rubber." He added, "Next year's expected earnings are sales of 7.1 trillion won, operating profit of 329.8 billion won (operating profit margin of 4.6%), and net income attributable to controlling shareholders of 341.5 billion won. Operating performance is expected to stagnate from this year's 309.8 billion won."
