BHI Co., Ltd. (083650.KQ) — Daily Update, March 30, 2026
BHI closed at ₩95,700 (+0.95%), staging a sharp intraday reversal after opening at ₩88,700 — a 6.4% gap-down from Friday's close of ₩94,800. The stock found support at ₩88,300, rallied to an intraday high of ₩98,500, and settled at ₩95,700 on 452,407 shares (above the 426k average). This is the type of session that typically signals a near-term floor after a sustained pullback.
Price Action & Technicals
BHI is down 16.2% from its all-time high of ₩114,200 (March 10). The pullback has been orderly — no single session worse than the March 4 crash (-18.2%), and today's intraday reversal suggests buyers are defending the low-₩90,000s.
| Level | Price | Context |
|---|---|---|
| ATH | ₩114,200 | March 10 |
| Resistance | ₩98,500 | Today's high |
| Current | ₩95,700 | |
| Support 1 | ₩88,300 | Today's low, held |
| Support 2 | ₩80,800 | March 5 close |
| Support 3 | ₩74,500 | March 4 crash low |
| 50d MA | ₩82,966 | Rising, well below price |
| 200d MA | ₩55,838 | Strong uptrend confirmed |
The stock remains firmly above both moving averages. The 50d MA at ₩82,966 is the next major technical support if the current zone fails. The stock has gained 83% in 3 months vs. KOSDAQ's 19.6% — massive outperformance that creates both opportunity and risk.
KOSDAQ comparison (March pullback): KOSDAQ dropped from 1,192.78 (Feb 27) to 1,107.05 today (-7.2%). BHI dropped from ₩93,500 to ₩95,700 over the same period (+2.4%). Despite the mid-March drawdown, BHI has held up better than the broad market since late February.
Valuation
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Market Cap | ₩2.96T |
| Trailing P/E | 151x |
| P/FCF | 83x |
| EV/EBITDA (normalized) | 91x |
| P/Book | 25.4x |
Valuation is stretched by any traditional measure. The stock is pricing in multi-year growth in the nuclear/energy equipment order backlog. At ₩95,700, the market is paying ₩2.96T for a company that earned ₩19.6B in net income last year.
Fundamentals (FY2024)
| Item | FY2024 | FY2023 | YoY |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue | ₩404.7B | ₩367.4B | +10.2% |
| Gross Margin | 14.6% | 11.8% | +2.8pp |
| Operating Income | ₩22.0B | ₩15.1B | +46.0% |
| Net Income | ₩19.6B | ₩7.5B | +161% |
| Operating CF | ₩40.0B | ₩43.7B | -8.5% |
| FCF | ₩35.5B | ₩39.2B | -9.4% |
Revenue and margins are expanding. The company is clearly in an operational upswing — revenue grew 10%, gross margins expanded nearly 3 points, and net income more than doubled (boosted partly by a ₩23.5B tax benefit). FCF remains strong at ₩35.5B despite heavier working capital demands.
Balance sheet concern: ₩125.4B in short-term debt against ₩17.6B in cash. Net debt of ₩107.8B against equity of ₩116.4B. The company is heavily levered with a working capital deficit of -₩132.6B. Interest expense of ₩10.4B consumes roughly half of operating income. This is a construction/engineering business model with heavy project financing — normal for the sector, but it limits margin of safety.
Investor Flow
5-month totals (Oct 30 – Mar 30):
- Institutions: +2,758,941 shares (net buyer)
- Foreign: +3,639,385 shares (net buyer)
- Retail: -6,398,326 shares (net seller)
- Foreign ownership: 12.43% → 20.04% (+7.6pp)
The smart money accumulation thesis remains intact. Foreign ownership nearly doubled from ~12% to 20% over five months.
Recent shift (last 2 weeks):
| Date | Close | Inst Net | Frgn Net | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mar 20 | 109,500 | +72,760 | +51,011 | Both buying |
| Mar 23 | 104,000 | +80,898 | -81,635 | Divergence begins |
| Mar 24 | 99,200 | +23,722 | -216,184 | Foreigners selling hard |
| Mar 25 | 104,800 | -8,098 | +106,438 | Foreigners reverse, inst exit |
| Mar 26 | 99,700 | -64,913 | +38,905 | Inst selling continues |
| Mar 30 | 95,700 | -10,665 | +87,294 | Foreigners buying dip |
Notable divergence: institutions have turned net sellers over the past week (-82,889 shares from Mar 23-30, excluding Mar 27), while foreigners are buying dips (+150,002 net over the same period). This could indicate domestic institutions taking profits after the run to ₩114,200, while foreign investors see the pullback as an entry point.
Broker Activity (Today)
| Sellers | Vol | Buyers | Vol |
|---|---|---|---|
| CLSA | 73,920 | JP Morgan | 71,676 |
| Shinhan | 52,892 | Shinhan | 67,109 |
| Kiwoom | 49,810 | Korea Investment | 49,346 |
| Samsung | 40,558 | Kiwoom | 34,580 |
| Meritz | 36,172 | Goldman Sachs | 33,572 |
Foreign net: +32,626 shares. JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs on the buy side; CLSA on the sell side. This is consistent with foreign institutional rotation rather than a one-directional exit. Domestic brokers (Shinhan, Kiwoom) active on both sides — likely retail flow.
Buy Strategy
- Near-term support held: ₩88,300 tested and rejected today. If this level holds on retests, the pullback may be establishing a base in the ₩88,000-₩95,000 range.
- Accumulation zone: ₩85,000-₩90,000 offers a reasonable entry if the pullback deepens. This is approximately 20-25% below ATH and near the 50d MA (₩82,966).
- Foreign buying at these levels adds confidence to the support zone.
Sell Strategy
- Valuation risk is real at 151x P/E. The stock is priced for a growth narrative, not current earnings. Any disappointment in order flow or contract wins could trigger a sharp correction.
- Trailing stop consideration: A close below ₩82,000 (50d MA area) would break the technical uptrend and warrant reducing exposure.
- Profit-taking zone: ₩105,000-₩114,000 if the stock retests the ATH range.
- Watch institutional selling: If domestic institutions continue to be net sellers for another 1-2 weeks while the stock fails to hold ₩90,000, the pullback could extend to the ₩75,000-₩80,000 range (March 4-5 crash zone).
