On the 26th, Shinhan Investment Corp. forecasted that TSIG, which manufactures semiconductor probe cards, will see improved performance due to an expanded product lineup and increased orders. Probe cards are components that connect semiconductor chips to testing equipment.

Oh Kang-ho, a researcher at Shinhan Financial Investment, stated, "TSIG's performance improvement is driven by increased orders resulting from customer expansion," adding, "Thanks to consecutive orders, the company recorded surprise-level results in the second quarter."

TSIG posted an operating profit of 8.7 billion KRW in the second quarter, turning from a loss last year to a profit. Shinhan Financial Investment expects the third quarter operating profit to reach 14.3 billion KRW, a 112% increase compared to the same period last year. They also estimated the order volume to be around 25 billion KRW.

Researcher Oh advised, "The company is expanding its market scope from mainly NAND flash to DRAM product lines, which have higher process difficulty," and emphasized, "Attention should be paid to the probe card division's turnaround to profitability and its mid- to long-term growth drivers."

He added, "The subsidiary's sales are also increasing and entering a profitable phase, contributing to TSIG's overall performance improvement."
