"There is a possibility of derivatives profits from the expansion of international LPG prices (CP) and oil price spreads," eBEST Investment & Securities said on the 22nd. "40 billion won in asset revaluation profits from charging stations will be newly reflected as derivatives valuation gains."

eBEST Investment & Securities said, "The pre-tax profit forecast for the fourth quarter will be raised sharply from 3.3 billion won to 33.8 billion won, and the consensus forecast (9.4 billion won) will be greatly exceeded."
