Namyan stock (ISIN KR7003921004) fell 1.49 percent to KRW 29,850 on the Korea Exchange KOSPI during trading on October 7, 2026. The move came as Namyang Dairy Products launched a new cheddar cheese product, adding a fresh product development angle to the stock story.

New cheese targets portion demand

According to AsiaE on October 7, 2026, Namyang introduced Ipanga Deuk Cheddar Cheese in 30-gram slices containing 80 percent cheddar cheese. The new slices are 76 percent heavier than the company's existing 17-gram sliced cheddar product.

The launch gives Namyang a concrete product-level response to demand for smaller, single-serving food formats. It also expands the company narrative beyond its traditional dairy lines, which include milk, yogurt, beverages, cheese and infant nutrition products.

Revenue grows while margins stay thin

ATS View reports that Namyang Dairy Products generated KRW 258 billion of revenue in Q2 2026, up 11.2 percent from the same quarter of 2025. Operating profit was KRW 1.3 billion, equal to a 0.5 percent operating margin, while net income reached KRW 1.5 billion.

The comparison is important for investors: sales expanded by double digits, but the operating result remained small relative to revenue. Q1 2026 revenue was KRW 225 billion, with operating profit of KRW 522 million, so the second quarter delivered higher sales and a larger operating result in sequential terms.

The six-month picture was also stronger on sales. Revenue reached KRW 483 billion in the first half of 2026, while operating profit totaled KRW 1.8 billion, according to MyTenBagger in its review of the August 14, 2026 filing. The figures show that revenue growth has returned, but profitability remains sensitive to product mix and costs.

Stock stays below yearly high

Namyang stock was last at KRW 29,850 on October 7, 2026 at 11:05 a.m. KST, down KRW 450 from the prior close of KRW 30,300. The session range was KRW 29,850 to KRW 30,300, while the 52-week range stood at KRW 28,800 to KRW 47,400.

The current price is 37.0 percent below the 52-week high and 3.6 percent above the 52-week low. Market capitalization was KRW 327.5 billion, with trading volume of 232 shares as of October 7, 2026.

KRW 29,850 sets the market reference

For investors, the key tension is visible in the numbers: Q2 revenue grew 11.2 percent year over year, but the operating margin was only 0.5 percent. The new cheese launch adds a product catalyst, while the stock remains close to its 52-week low rather than its yearly peak.
