Hot profits: Buldak boom turns South Korea's Samyang Foods into a US$7.3b snack daddy
SEOUL, June 29 — Samyang Foods, the company behind the wildly viral Buldak spicy ramyeon, has officially joined the big leagues — crossing 10 trillion won (RM30.9 billion) in market capitalisation for the first time, powered by fiery noodles and a global cult following. According to Yonhap, the Korean Exchange (KRX) said the stock closed Friday at 1,334,000 won a share, putting Samyang in 54th place among listed firms by market value. That's more than double where it stood a year ago — and nearly 33 times what it was worth back in 2016, when shares traded at just 40,000 won. What's fuelling the rocket ride? A potent mix of overseas demand, viral 'fire noodle' challenges, and an appetite for pain — all of which have turned Buldak into one of K-food's hottest exports. Sales hit 1.73 trillion won in 2024, up 45 per cent year-on-year, with international markets accounting for a staggering 77 per cent of total revenue. The US and China are Samyang's top overseas fans, with the heat-seeking trend still burning bright. To keep up, Samyang has expanded one of its three domestic plants and will break ground on its first overseas factory in China next month. The brand is already active in Japan, Indonesia, the Netherlands and the US. Analysts are expecting the firestorm to continue. Brokerage projections show Q2 operating profit could jump 51 per cent year-on-year to 135.2 billion won, while sales are forecast to rise 31 per cent to 554.6 billion won. Once a local noodle name, Samyang is now a sizzling global player — proving that pain, at least in food, really does pay.

DNUT Deadline: DNUT Investors with Losses in Excess of $100K Have Opportunity to Lead Krispy Kreme, Inc. Securities Fraud Lawsuit
NEW YORK, June 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Why: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities of Krispy Kreme, Inc. (NASDAQ: DNUT) between February 25, 2025 and May 7, 2025, both dates inclusive (the 'Class Period'), of the important July 15, 2025 lead plaintiff deadline. So what: If you purchased Krispy Kreme securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement. What to do next: To join the Krispy Kreme class action, go to or call Phillip Kim, Esq. at 866-767-3653 or email case@ for more information. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than July 15, 2025. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. Why Rosen Law: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company at the time. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers. Details of the case: According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period, defendants made false and misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) demand for Krispy Kreme products declined materially at McDonald's locations after the initial marketing launch; (2) demand at McDonald's locations was a driver of declining average sales per door per week; (3) the partnership with McDonald's was not profitable; (4) the foregoing posed a substantial risk to maintaining the partnership with McDonald's; (5) as a result, Krispy Kreme would pause expansion into new McDonald's locations; and (6) as a result of the foregoing, defendants' positive statements about Krispy Kreme's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages. To join the Krispy Kreme class action, go to or call Phillip Kim, Esq. at 866-767-3653 or email case@ for more information. No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff. Follow us for updates on LinkedIn: on Twitter: or on Facebook: Attorney Advertising.
