HJ Heavy Industries (097230.KS) reported first-quarter 2026 consolidated revenue of ₩541.4 billion (+32.0% year-over-year) and operating profit of ₩24.6 billion (+351.4%), driven by defense and special-purpose shipbuilding, with ₩335.1 billion in creditor-bank covenant debt maturing on June 30, 2026.
Defense and special-purpose shipbuilding has lifted HJ Heavy Industries out of near-breakeven territory — but the refinancing of ₩335.1 billion in creditor-bank covenant debt by June 30 remains the gate that separates a recovery thesis from a confirmed one.
