Coway (KR7021240007) reported revenue of KRW 1.44 trillion in the second quarter of 2026, up 14.60 percent year over year, according to ATS View. On October 1, 2026, the company launched its Prime Stand Cool water station in Japan through local rental partner Waterstand, as PR Newswire reported.

What the launch means for rental growth

The Prime Stand Cool is designed for direct connection to a water supply and provides chilled and room-temperature water without bottle replacement. The Japanese launch uses a monthly rental model priced at JPY 5,500, with filters, maintenance, support and equipment replacement included, according to PR Newswire.

That product extends Coway's established rental approach beyond water purifiers and air treatment. The company also markets bidets, mattresses, massage chairs and digital maintenance services, while the new Japanese offer targets offices, schools, public facilities and commercial sites.

Second-quarter growth sets the baseline

Coway's second-quarter operating profit reached KRW 253.00 billion, up 4.30 percent year over year, while operating margin was 17.60 percent, according to The Chosun Daily. Revenue growth therefore outpaced operating-profit growth in the reported quarter, leaving margin discipline as an important measure for the next results release.

The next reported checkpoint is scheduled for November 6, 2026, according to InvestPane. The date gives investors a defined point for testing whether the 17.60 percent operating margin can hold as Coway adds products and overseas rental channels.
