In Q1 2025, POSCO Holdings Inc reported a consolidated revenue of KRW 17.4 trillion, reflecting a year-over-year decrease of 3.66%, though showing a slight quarter-over-quarter improvement amid challenging market conditions. Despite these headwinds, notably from heightened global tariff conflicts, the company achieved operating income of KRW 568 billion, rebounding substantially from KRW 95 billion in Q4 2024. However, the net income of KRW 302 billion signifies a concerning drop of 44.15% year-over-year, suggesting that while operational profitability has improved, overall bottom-line performance remains under pressure due to external economic factors and ongoing restructuring costs. Management expressed cautious optimism regarding the recovery, citing stabilizing raw material prices and a rebound in domestic market conditions as potential catalysts for growth moving forward. Additionally, strategic partnerships, notably with Hyundai Motor Group focusing on joint investments in the US, underline the company’s forward-looking growth plans.
