Korea Investment & Securities forecasted on the 14th that Three-A Logics will achieve its highest performance this year due to the expansion of Near Field Communication (NFC). Three-A Logics is a fabless company specializing in NFC chips.

Korea Investment & Securities projected Three-A Logics' annual sales for this year to be 30.4 billion KRW and operating profit to be 6.7 billion KRW, representing increases of 67.4% and 391.1% respectively compared to the previous year.

He continued, "The company was the first domestic firm to obtain approval for the automotive semiconductor test standard 'AEX-Q100' and became the third globally to successfully mass-produce automotive NFC chips. Additionally, it exclusively supplies NFC chips to top global ESL market players," forecasting, "With growth in the automotive and ESL markets, the average annual growth rate is expected to increase up to 47% over the next three years."

In 2024, the company recorded annual sales of 18.1 billion KRW and an operating profit of 1.7 billion KRW, successfully turning profitable.
