IBK Investment & Securities said, "Craton is expected to turn into a surplus and the effect of expanding high-profitable products such as PB, POE, IR Latex, and special rubber will be added from this year."
Cratton, which posted an operating loss of about 150 billion won last year, is expected to turn into a surplus from the first quarter of this year.
IBK Investment & Securities added, "DL Energy will continue to be profitable in the first quarter as it has a solid portfolio by investing directly or indirectly in power generation companies in Korea, Australia and Pakistan."
