Kolon (KR7002021004) reported revenue of KRW 1.71 trillion in the second quarter of 2026, up 13.50 percent from the same period a year earlier. For Kolon stock, the key change is the sharp improvement in operating profit, which reached KRW 99.8 billion compared with KRW 43.5 billion in the second quarter of 2025, according to ATSView.

What the profit rebound means

The Q2 operating margin was 5.80 percent, compared with 2.90 percent a year earlier. The improvement gives the results a different profile from the first quarter of 2026, when Kolon generated KRW 1.52 trillion in revenue and KRW 98.8 billion in operating profit but posted a net loss of KRW 44.7 billion, according to ATSView.

Net income reached KRW 55.4 billion in the second quarter of 2026, reversing the KRW 73.9 billion loss recorded in the second quarter of 2025. That swing matters because the stronger operating result was accompanied by a return to positive bottom-line earnings, rather than being limited to revenue growth.

Industrial breadth remains central

Kolon operates across industrial materials, chemicals, construction, automotive components, health care, information technology, fashion and leisure businesses. Its diversified structure means that quarterly revenue growth alone does not identify which division will determine the next earnings trend.

The reported figures point to a more resilient operating base, but the first-quarter loss shows that non-operating items can still affect consolidated earnings. The comparison between KRW 99.8 billion of second-quarter operating profit and KRW 43.5 billion a year earlier therefore remains more informative than revenue growth alone.

Market value and trading range

Kolon's market capitalization was KRW 305.7 billion as of October 6, 2026. The 52-week range was KRW 20,200.00 to KRW 88,200.00, leaving the reported market value attached to a share price that remains materially below the top of its annual range.
