According to MP Doctor on the 13th, as of 9:16 a.m., Hantop Inc.’s stock is trading at 3,300 won, up 18.07% from the previous trading day.
Previously, on the 11th, the company announced in a regulatory filing, “From September 11 (based on the settlement date) through October 10—a period of 30 days—we will purchase 2 million common shares for approximately 3.3 billion won through on-market purchases.”
The purchase price was calculated based on the closing price of 1,654 won on August 10, the day before the announcement, and the actual trading volume and price may vary depending on future stock price fluctuations.
Through continuous efforts to improve its business structure and reduce costs, Hantop Inc. has maintained operating profits for four consecutive years from 2022 to 2025, and in 2025, it returned to profitability in net income as well. In addition to this trend of improved performance, the company is also reviewing ways to utilize tangible assets—such as investment real estate and its headquarters site—in addition to its cash and cash equivalents.
A Hantop Inc. official stated, “We determined that the recent stock price had fallen excessively relative to the company’s intrinsic value, so the largest shareholder submitted a plan to trade specific securities via on-market purchases to enhance shareholder value and corporate value.” The official added, “We are also reviewing additional measures to boost shareholder value and corporate value, and we plan to disclose them as soon as they are finalized.” Consequently, the stock price hit the daily upper price limit on both the 11th and 12th.
