Samyang Foods' market cap tops 10 trillion won on buldak boom
SEOUL (Bernama-Yonhap): The market capitalisation of Samyang Foods Inc., known for its globally popular Buldak spicy ramyeon, has exceeded 10 trillion won (US$7.3 billion) for the first time, helped by robust sales of the Buldak series, the main bourse said Sunday, Yonhap News Agency reported.
On Friday, the company ranked 54th in market capitalisation, reaching 10.049 trillion won based on a closing price of 1,334,000 won per share, according to the Korea Exchange (KRX).
Samyang Foods' share price has doubled from a year earlier and skyrocketed from around 40,000 won at the end of 2016, driven by continued viral food-eating challenges and the popularity of Buldak ramyeon's extreme spiciness.
The company recently expanded one of its three domestic plants to meet rising global demand for its products.
In addition to its domestic facilities, Samyang plans to begin construction of its first overseas plant in China next month. The company currently operates in China, Japan, Indonesia, the Netherlands, and the US.
Last year, Samyang's sales surged 45 per cent on-year to 1.73 trillion won due to strong demand for its Buldak ramyeon series in the US and China. It earned 77 per cent of its total revenue from overseas markets.
Brokerages expect Samyang's operating profit will jump 51 per cent on-year to 135.2 billion won in the second quarter and sales will rise 31 per cent to 554.6 billion won. --Bernama-Yonhap

Its Minister, Datuk Seri Tiong King Sing, stated that with the venue's average daily footfall of about 50,000 people, the festival is expected to attract at least 20 per cent of visitors over the two days.

He added that the vibrancy of the festival invites the public to experience the essence of Malaysia through its rich culinary offerings, captivating cultural performances, and exclusive tourism promotions, all in line with the Visit Malaysia 2026 (VM2026) campaign. Tiong, who is on a working visit to Bangkok from June 27 to July 3, officiated at the festival, aiming to enhance bilateral tourism cooperation and lay the foundation for stronger ties ahead of VM2026. He emphasised that the festival plays a significant role in the lead-up to next year's Visit Malaysia, aiming to boost visibility and strengthen Malaysia's image as a welcoming and diverse travel destination. "This initiative directly contributes to our 2025 tourism targets of achieving 43 million international tourist arrivals and generating RM283.8 billion in tourism receipts for the country,' he said. Tiong noted that the festival is part of Tourism Malaysia's ongoing efforts to promote VM2026, particularly by encouraging Thai tourists to explore Malaysia's unique attractions. "Hosting the festival at such a high-traffic and accessible location allows us to showcase Malaysian culture and cuisine to a wide audience, encouraging more Thai and regional travellers to consider Malaysia for their next holiday destination,' he added. According to Tourism Malaysia's records, Thailand contributed 2.26 million visitors to Malaysia in 2024, generating RM3.994 billion in tourism receipts. - Bernama
