According to F&Guide, an agency analyzing listed companies, YG Entertainment is expected to generate sales of 380.2 billion won and an operating loss of 18.2 billion won on a consolidated basis this year. Compared to 2023, sales have decreased by 33.21%, and the operating account has turned into a deficit.
Kim Hyun-yong, a researcher at Hyundai Motor Securities, stated: « YG Entertainment is facing a ‘profit shock,’ with profit and operating losses significantly lower than the market estimates for the third quarter.” He added, “Considering that sales are expected to be in the range of 80 billion won in a situation similar to the first half of the year, it is deemed difficult to significantly reduce the losses. »
