As Hanwha Ocean declined alongside the broader market correction, investors are turning their attention to future overseas defense contract momentum.

◆ Canada's Next-Generation Submarine Project: Cooperation Framework in Focus In the defense industry recently, the international cooperation framework surrounding Canada's next-generation submarine project has become a hot topic. However, since the project has not yet been finalized with a contract, the actual award will likely depend on future bidding procedures and intergovernmental negotiation outcomes. Industry analysts suggest that Hanwha Ocean's track record could serve as a competitive advantage, given that existing operational performance and maintenance experience act as key evaluation criteria in overseas naval vessel projects.

◆ Stock Price Correction Continues... Mid-to-Long-Term Revaluation Expectations Rise The stock price trend is also a focus of attention. As the domestic stock market has recently shown overall weakness, Hanwha Ocean has also faced correction pressure. While some investors are concerned about short-term downside risks, others project that if large-scale overseas projects materialize, the company's mid-to-long-term growth drivers could be reassessed.

◆ Securities Firms Identify Three Key Variables Securities firms expect that the following factors will serve as key variables determining the company's value and stock price going forward: △ the progress of the Canadian submarine project, △ the Thai frigate project, and △ additional overseas defense contract awards.
