Aekyung Industry noted that it plans to actively pursue shareholder returns based on high growth potential and stable revenue to enhance its corporate value.
It has set a medium-to-long-term goal of achieving 1 trillion won in sales by 2027 and maintaining a return on equity (ROE) of over 10%, a key profitability indicator. Additionally, it plans to increase its undervalued corporate value compared to peers, aiming to achieve a price-to-book ratio (PBR) of up to 1.5 times.
As a measure to expand shareholder returns, it will raise its dividend payout ratio to over 35% by 2027. To actively increase shareholder returns, it intends to implement dividends at a level above 35%, up from the previous level of 30%. The company aims to enhance its dividend yield through increased cash dividends and maintaining a high payout ratio, improve stock return through stock buybacks, and maximize total shareholder return. An Aekyung Industry representative said, "Sales growth must be ensured to secure stable revenue and shareholder returns," and added, "We will pursue shareholder-centered management based on growth through expanding global business areas and strengthening the cosmetics institutional sector."
