2. KOSDAQ Fab-Floor Specialists: Etch Rings (`064760`), Wafer Robots (`232680`) & Pyeongtaek Orders (`396470`, `348350`)
- TCK (`064760.KQ` — SiC Etch Consumables): 3Q26 revenue 110,102M KRW (+16.05% QoQ, +38.95% YoY); OP 30,219M KRW (+12.55% QoQ, +35.04% YoY) → 27.45% OPM (Calc.); 9M26 OPM 28.51% (Calc.) on 300,366M KRW revenue [4].

- Wort (`396470.KQ`) & Withtech (`348350.KQ`) — Direct Samsung Fab Contracts: Backing up Samsung's ~27.5T KRW implied 4Q26 facility investment balance (84.4T annual plan minus 56.9T 9M26), Wort signed a 1,638.0M KRW THC contract (10.76% of FY25 revenue of 15,220.9M KRW) for Samsung's Hwaseong/Pyeongtaek campuses through May 31, 2027 (100% cash within 30 days) [6], and Withtech signed a 13,044.0M KRW TMS maintenance contract (22.56% of FY25 revenue of 57,807.0M KRW) with Samsung Electronics through Dec 31, 2027 [7].
Takeaway & 4Q26 Falsification Trigger
- Core Hypothesis: 4Q26 revenue at KOSDAQ fab suppliers (TCK, Raon Robotics, Wort) will accelerate QoQ as Samsung executes its ~27.5T KRW 4Q facility investment balance and SK Hynix ramps M15X.
- Falsification Trigger: TCK or Raon Robotics 4Q26 revenue turns negative QoQ, or Wort's May 31, 2027 Hwaseong/Pyeongtaek delivery date is pushed out via a DART amendment (
기재정정) [4][5][6].
