On February 5, integrated language platform company Gold&S announced a value-up program aimed at enhancing its corporate value over the mid to long term and maximizing shareholder returns.
Gold&S plans to focus on strengthening its educational business capabilities from 2026 to 2028 and to actively pursue mergers and acquisitions (M&A) with promising companies in AI-based education, thereby establishing a foundation for sustainable growth.
As strategies to boost corporate value, the company presented three main pillars: ▲Financial Strategy ▲Marketing Strategy ▲R&D Strategy. In the area of Financial Strategy, it will reinforce growth by concentrating on core business capabilities and identifying promising investment targets, while also pursuing improvements in its governance structure and enhancing transparency in internal controls.
In the area of Marketing Strategy, the company will drive revenue growth by building a "premium lineup" of AI-based learning products and further advancing its customized online platform for customers. It also plans to strengthen its brand through integrated media such as TV, YouTube, radio, and the internet, and to enhance competitiveness by discovering and systematically nurturing star instructors both online and offline.
For its R&D Strategy, the company will develop "XAI," an AI-based foreign language education solution, and roll out new products that align with trends in the language education business. It will work on language expansion and new products for related and adjacent businesses, new products for overseas study and global education, and foreign language learning services tailored to different life stages.
In addition, to strengthen communication with shareholders, the company will enhance its investor relations and public relations (IR/PR) activities, including face-to-face meetings with C-level executives in each area at general shareholders' meetings, investor conference calls, and regular meetings with the press. It also plans to release financial results on its platform and to disclose the implementation status of its corporate value enhancement efforts in the first half of 2027.
Shin Seungho, CEO of Gold&S, said, "We will achieve sustainable growth by strengthening our educational business capabilities and aggressively pursuing M&A with promising companies in the AI education sector," adding, "Through our mid- to long-term growth strategy and shareholder return policy, we will enhance corporate value and restore shareholder trust."
