QRT’s Nine-Month Operating Profit Rises 55% on Space Component Testing Demand
Semiconductor reliability testing company QRT disclosed on Nov. 13 that consolidated revenue for the January-September period of 2026 reached 57.814 billion won, up 11.7% from a year earlier, while operating profit totaled 5.871 billion won, up 54.9%. Operating margin climbed 2.8 percentage points to 10.1% from 7.3%. Revenue from its core reliability testing business rose 17.1% year-on-year to 34.861 billion won, with its share of total revenue increasing to 60% from 58%; equipment sales, a new business segment, reached 1.666 billion won, about 3% of total revenue. The company attributed the growth to rising demand for space component reliability testing and next-generation glass substrate evaluation. QRT expects stable performance to continue in the fourth quarter, with revenue from radio-frequency (RF) reliability testing equipment ordered by a European defense company earlier this year expected to be reflected in results. The company plans to launch a new business targeting servers for AI data centers and to expand its reliability testing services in the U.S.

DB HiTek’s Nine-Month Operating Profit Rises 24% as Fabs Run at Full Capacity
On Nov. 12, DB HiTek disclosed its preliminary consolidated third-quarter results: revenue of 403.36 billion won, up 14% from a year earlier, and operating profit of 90.02 billion won, up 6.58% year-on-year. For the first nine months, cumulative revenue reached 1.1774 trillion won and operating profit 262.2 billion won, increases of 19% and 24% respectively from a year earlier. The improvement was driven by its power semiconductor foundry business, with strong performance in the 8-inch foundry business; foundry utilization remained effectively at 100% in the third quarter, and average selling prices also increased as the share of higher-value high-voltage BCD (HV BCD) power semiconductors expanded. The company is strengthening its foundry competitiveness through high-value products including HV BCD, third-generation superjunction MOSFETs (SJ MOSFETs) and specialty CMOS image sensors (Specialty CIS). It recently completed a cleanroom at its Sangwoo Campus (Fab 2) in Eumseong County, North Chungcheong Province, and plans to add monthly production capacity of 40,000 wafers through medium- to long-term investments, with Fab 2's next-generation power semiconductor capacity set to rise from the current 63,000 wafers per month to more than 100,000 (this expansion is planned). Net profit totaled 22.48 billion won, down 75.23% from a year earlier and 80.56% from the previous quarter; the decline appears to reflect losses stemming from the temporary suspension of ferroalloy operations at subsidiary DB World in May, as well as non-operating losses related to foreign exchange and investments.

AP Systems' New Semiconductor Orders Exceed 100 Billion Won
AP Systems said on Nov. 10 that new orders for its semiconductor business had exceeded 100 billion won as of November, about 1.5 times the division's revenue of 65.2 billion won last year, with revenue from the orders to be recognized through 2027. The growth was driven by increased orders for rapid thermal processing (RTP) equipment, one of the company's core technologies; AP Systems entered the semiconductor RTP market with its KORONA RTP 800, jointly developed with Samsung Electronics beginning in 1999, and the equipment is supplied for NAND flash and DRAM manufacturing processes. The company said it has expanded its market share among South Korean memory chipmakers as RTP equipment is increasingly adopted in front-end manufacturing, and has broadened its portfolio to include RTP systems for next-generation DRAM and automation equipment, adding that if customers continue expanding capacity there is significant potential for additional deliveries to similar processes within the same fab. AP Systems has also begun supplying laser-based semiconductor equipment and aims to raise the semiconductor business's share of total revenue to 30% by 2030, up from less than 20% currently. The company separately said on Nov. 6 that consolidated third-quarter revenue totaled 488.2 billion won with operating profit of 31.6 billion won, most of it from OLED-related businesses.
