[Special Stock] Strong Growth Potential... M&CSolution Up Over 7%

M&C Solution has reached a new high.

As of 9:25 AM on the 7th, M&C Solution is trading at 64,500 KRW, up 4,600 KRW (7.68%) compared to the previous trading day.

Investor sentiment appears to have surged following securities analysts' assessments that the company has significant growth potential based on a stable order backlog and expansion of overseas vendors.

Additionally, the recent demand by U.S. President Donald Trump for NATO member countries to increase defense spending has been seen as a positive factor, raising expectations for benefits to the domestic defense industry.

M&C Solution is a special-purpose machinery manufacturer producing key components applied to domestic defense products such as Cheonmu, Cheongung, K9 self-propelled howitzers, and K2 tanks, which are exported by Korean defense companies.

It is the last KOSPI IPO of last year and the first defense company to enter the stock market in five years since Hanwha Systems in 2019. From November 26 to December 2 last year, it conducted a demand forecast targeting domestic and international institutional investors for five days and finalized the public offering price at 65,000 KRW.

Kim Hak-jun, a researcher at Kiwoom Securities, analyzed, "The customer base for key components is diversified, and since the components are supplied to various defense products, the company can benefit regardless of which export contract products are involved. If vendor registrations and servo valve replacement demand targets for domestic and overseas defense companies are achieved, and registrations occur in the second half of the year, substantial additional growth can emerge."
