Price-Change Context Note
On 2026-08-18, the broader market declined, with the KOSPI down -1.55% and the KOSDAQ down -3.52%; no disclosure or news specific to Hanmi Global was identified. Following a sharp share-price rally during 2026-08-04–08-10 driven by sector rotation into nuclear power and data center themes, the H1 results released on 08-14 — reported at roughly -5% below market consensus revenue per secondary aggregation — were followed by a continued corrective phase.
Business Overview
Founded in 1996, Hanmi Global is a construction management (CM) and project management (PM) firm that has carried out more than 3,000 projects across roughly 60 countries. Per Engineering News-Record (ENR) rankings of non-U.S. CM/PM firms by revenue for 2022–2024, it ranked 8th globally (a top-10 ranking for four consecutive years) (sources: topdaily, thebell).
Overseas revenue is centered on U.S. semiconductor fabs and Middle East new-city projects such as the NEOM e-PMO and Riyadh Digital City in Saudi Arabia. In 2026, the company has been expanding into the nuclear power and data center sectors, including PM services for a facility upgrade at the Cernavodă nuclear power plant in Romania (its first entry into the overseas nuclear power market), winning the PM services contract for the domestic Shin-Hanul Units 3 and 4, and a global data center joint-business agreement with Naver Cloud.

Peer Comparison
By 2024 revenue, Hanmi Global ranked first in the industry (KRW 424.8bn), but its operating margin of 7.99% was lower than Samoo's (11.1%) and Haeahn's (10.1%).

Macro Factors
| Factor | Current value | Impact |
|---|---|---|
| Domestic Construction Business Survey Index (CBSI), New Orders Index | 68.6 (2026-07, -4.5p MoM) | Negative |
| Housing permit floor area (H1 2026) | 116,611 units (-15.8% YoY) | Negative |
| Bank of Korea base rate | 2.75% (raised 2026-07-16) | Negative |
| Real estate PF loan delinquency rate | 4.65% (end of Q1 2026, highest in 10 years) | Negative |
| KRW/USD exchange rate | approx. KRW 1,412–1,418 (2026-08-18) | Positive (overseas revenue translation) |
| Overseas construction orders (Middle East) | USD 1.27bn (H1 2026, -77.2% YoY) | Negative |
Domestically, weak leading construction indicators, the base-rate hike, and rising PF delinquency rates are combining to pressure private-sector orders downward. Overseas, with overseas revenue accounting for a high 62.2% share, won weakness is positive for KRW-translated revenue, but orders from the Middle East — a core overseas client region — have fallen sharply.
Risk Factors
- Profitability In 2025, the cost-of-sales ratio rose from 64.3% to 68.3%, and despite higher revenue, operating profit (-9.7%) and net income (-14.4%) declined.
- Subsidiary The low-margin structure of subsidiary Hanmi Global E&C has been cited as one factor behind the decline in consolidated operating profit.
- Subsidiary Whether development subsidiary Hanmi Global D&I is able to sell off unsold units could affect future results (detailed unit count and amount not obtained).
- Domestic orders Weak leading construction indicators, the base-rate hike, and rising PF delinquency rates are pressuring domestic private-sector orders downward.
- Overseas orders Overseas construction orders fell sharply by -63.6% YoY in H1 2026 (Middle East: -77.2%).
- Earnings H1 2026 results were reported at roughly -5% below market consensus revenue per secondary aggregation (not cross-checked against the primary disclosure).
