[Edaily Reporter KIM JI-WAN ] VC Inc.(365900)is expected to post record-breaking earnings next year as its golf application for AI smart glasses—developed in collaboration with a global top-tier company—emerges as a new growth driver.
Choi Jae-ho, an analyst at Bryers Insight, commented on VC Inc. on the 14th, stating, “The company is demonstrating substantial earnings growth and is securing future growth drivers through AI smart glasses.”
VC Inc.’s 2026 performance saw revenue reach 17.4 billion won, a 41.1% increase year-over-year, while operating profit rose 74.4% to 2.1 billion won. The operating profit margin improved by 2.3 percentage points year-over-year to 12.0%.
Growth in overseas operations was particularly notable. Domestic revenue rose 16.0% year-over-year to 9.4 billion won, driven by expanded sales of new products such as distance measuring devices, running watches, and swing sticks. Overseas revenue grew 90.0% to 8.0 billion won.
In the U.S. market, revenue rose 144.0% year-over-year to 6.6 billion won, driven by growing demand for golf tech products, sales of products such as launch monitors, and the recognition of revenue from certain ODM orders.
Analyst Choi Jae-ho noted that VC Inc. is entering a phase of full-scale growth in overseas markets based on the product competitiveness it has established in the domestic market, stating, “As steep earnings growth is gradually confirmed, we believe the undervaluation that has persisted until now will continue to be resolved.”
