Neotis CEO Kwon Sanghun Purchases Additional Shares Again, Demonstrating Confidence in Corporate Value and Commitment to Responsible Management

Kwon Sanghun, CEO of Neotis (085910), has recently demonstrated his commitment to responsible management by purchasing additional shares in his own company. Analysts interpret this move as a reflection of his intention to enhance corporate value, backed by confidence in improved performance and new business growth.

According to the Financial Supervisory Service’s electronic disclosure system on July 30, CEO Kwon purchased a total of 13,500 Neotis shares in the open market, sequentially, from July 28 to August 3. The purchase price ranged from 13,522 won to 15,260 won per share. Through this acquisition, his stake increased from 1,765,876 shares to 1,779,376 shares, with his ownership ratio rising by 0.10 percentage points from 12.80% to 12.90%.

This share purchase is considered especially significant as it took place amid a recent adjustment in the share price. Typically, executives’ purchases of company shares are seen by the market as a signal of their confidence in the company’s mid- to long-term growth potential and corporate value.

This is not the first time CEO Kwon has bought treasury shares. He has continuously purchased shares in the open market recently, pursuing responsible management. Even when Neotis’s share price was at 27,000 won, he kept buying. He expanded his stake using personal funds based on his confidence in the company’s performance improvement and future growth potential, and by not selling the purchased shares, has demonstrated a clear commitment to enhancing long-term corporate value.

The market views this latest purchase as being motivated more by confidence in the company’s growth strategy than by a simple desire to increase his stake.

Neotis is the top company in South Korea’s microbit market and is benefiting from the expansion of high-bandwidth memory (HBM) for AI semiconductors and the advancement of cutting-edge packaging processes, leading to rapid growth in demand for its key tool, the microbit. With global semiconductor companies ramping up investments in AI, sales of related products have increased, and the company’s performance is seen as entering a strong growth phase.

Securities analysts forecast that, beginning this year, Neotis’ earnings level will rise to a new stage as revenue from AI semiconductors adds to the stable profit base from its existing automotive parts business. In fact, the company is continuously expanding production capacity to respond to growing demand for AI semiconductors, and its proportion of high value-added products is also increasing.
