- Revenue growth is expected to be driven by an increase in sales of test sockets for GPUs and server CPUs.
- Current production capacity is estimated at approximately 300 billion KRW in annual revenue, with plans to secure a capacity of 400 billion KRW by the second half of 2027.
- Investments in production facilities are underway in both Vietnam and South Korea, with sequential ramp-ups expected in August 2026, January 2027, and the second half of 2027.

📝 Editor’s Comment (by K-STOCK Editor)
With the emergence of the AI semiconductor market, the importance of high-performance test sockets is being highlighted more than ever. ISC is moving beyond the stage of a simple parts supplier and is solidifying its position as a key partner in the next-generation AI accelerator market, to the extent that it is negotiating LTAs with customers. In particular, preemptively securing production capacity through facility expansion will be an important trigger to increase mid-to-long-term growth visibility. However, yield management due to increased technical complexity and volatility in AI market demand will be key points for ongoing monitoring.
