- The board authorized a KRW 2.18 billion buyback covering 17,000 shares on October 15, 2026.
- Second-quarter revenue reached KRW 162.83 billion, up 15.25 percent from the first quarter.
- Miwon Specialty Chemical had a KRW 629.2 billion market capitalization as of October 20, 2026.
Miwon Specialty Chemical (ISIN KR7268280005) authorized a buyback of up to 17,000 shares on October 15, 2026. MarketScreener reported that the board linked the plan to stock-price stabilization and shareholder value.
Buyback sets a defined timeline
The program covers KRW 2.18 billion and is scheduled to run from October 15, 2026, through January 15, 2027. The company appointed NH Investment and Securities as broker, while the daily purchase limit is 1,700 shares, according to Investing.com.
Before the decision, Miwon Specialty Chemical held 202,888 treasury shares, equal to 4.06 percent of issued shares. The new authorization therefore adds a defined capital-return action to an existing treasury-share position rather than representing the company's first repurchase activity.
What does the plan change?
The operating backdrop was stronger in the second quarter of 2026. Revenue rose from KRW 141.27 billion in the first quarter to KRW 162.83 billion, a 15.25 percent increase. Investing.com reported second-quarter net income of KRW 32.98 billion and earnings per share of KRW 6,850.00.
The latest buyback also follows an earlier program. On October 1, 2026, Miwon Specialty Chemical completed purchases of 17,319 shares, or 0.36 percent, for KRW 2.14 billion, according to MarketScreener. The chronology points to repeated use of repurchases as a shareholder-value tool.
Three buyback milestones
On July 9, 2026, the company announced a 20,000-share buyback; on October 1, 2026, it reported completion of 17,319 shares for KRW 2.14 billion; and on October 15, 2026, it authorized the new 17,000-share plan. Each step was tied to a stated buyback quantity or amount.
Dates for the next steps
The next dated items are November 16, 2026, the filing deadline for the September quarter, and January 15, 2027, the scheduled end of the new buyback. The filing date is listed by ATSView, while the buyback period is reported by Investing.com.
Stock valuation and trading level
