Taihan Electric Wire's recent actions can be evaluated as revealing its ambitious ambition to become a hegemon in the global power grid market, going beyond simple exhibition participation. In particular, it is noteworthy that the company is focusing on large-scale national projects such as the West Coast Energy Expressway, with a 525kV HVDC submarine cable at the forefront. The company is completing an all-round production system from the internal network to long-distance linkages through the first factory currently in operation and the second factory under construction. In particular, the 187m high Vertical Continuous Extrusion System (VCV) tower, which will be installed at Plant 2, capable of producing 640kV cables, is considered a key infrastructure that will elevate Taihan Electric Wire's technological status to the next level. This infrastructure expansion goes beyond simple facility investment and is interpreted as a meticulous strategic plan to preoccupy the future demand for the global power grid.

The perfection of technology goes beyond production and leads to securing construction capabilities. Following the 'Palos', Korea's only cable laying ship, Taihan has additionally secured the 'Scandi Connector', a large 10,000-ton laying ship, and established a fleet system that can handle the entire process of submarine cable construction on its own. This is proof that we are fully aware that the power grid business is a 'turn-key' business that requires not only the hardware elements of cable manufacturing but also the advanced construction capabilities of installing and connecting cables in a rough sea environment. In fact, the recent order worth KRW 146.3 billion for Korea Electric Power Corporation's 500kV underground HVDC project is an example that proves to the market that the company is evolving beyond a simple supplier into an integrated solution company that oversees system construction, testing, and commissioning.

Meanwhile, the decline in Taihan Electric Wire's stock price observed in the securities market is, on the surface, in line with the adjustment phase of the industry as a whole. The high price-to-earnings ratio (PER) of more than 140 times shows that investors have high expectations for the company's future profitability, but it is also an unstable point where profit-taking listings may pour in at any time if the performance growth rate does not meet expectations. In particular, the recent stock price trend reflects the market's concerns, with an intraday decline of 3-4%, but this is most likely the result of a short-term supply and demand imbalance. The fact that the burn rate of foreign investors remains at the 13% level suggests that there is still capital that trusts Taihan Electric Wire's fundamentals from a long-term perspective.

Changes in the global market landscape are also opportunities and challenges for Taihan Electric Wire. In emerging markets such as Vietnam, the expansion of power grid infrastructure is accelerating, and the high-voltage cable sector is still dominated by foreign investment companies (FDIs) with technological capabilities. In line with this global trend, Taihan Electric Wire has established a bridgehead for entry into overseas markets by signing business agreements with leading European companies such as Jandenul of Belgium and Boskalis of the Netherlands. In a global energy transition period where electricity demand is rapidly increasing, Taihan Electric Wire's turnkey competitiveness will be a powerful weapon in the cross-border power grid connection business. Ultimately, the key is how quickly these technological advantages and partnerships can be translated into real order backlogs and sales, allaying market skepticism.
