Its total investment in facilities will increase to 30 trillion won from 24 trillion won last year, forecast analyst Kim Gyeong-min.
As the profits increase, its cash reserves have entered an upcycle and the company’s spending on facilities and M&As is contributing to its value, said the analyst.

“It has been strengthening its mobile service and software by developing its own technologies and M&As.”
