Analysis · EMAT · Manufacturing
With the equipment now physically on site and commissioning set to start in November, the company has taken the concrete step toward its planned tenfold capacity increase, from roughly 1,000 to 10,000 metric tons per year. An expected US$28 million in local grant funding under the Pohang City framework, subject to conditions, eases part of the expansion's capital burden. Given the going-concern doubt and material weaknesses disclosed in the August 10-Q, execution milestones like this carry outsized weight, as they underpin the 2027 revenue guidance of $400-460 million. The next public checkpoint is the December 17, 2026 showcase.
