What Hdksoe does

Intermediate holding company for HD Hyundai's shipbuilding group; owns Hyundai Heavy, Mipo and Samho shipyards.

Earns mainly by holding listed shipbuilding subsidiaries rather than operating yards itself, so value rests on profits at HD Hyundai Heavy and related units, dividends passed up and licence fees for engines and technology. It sits between the HD Hyundai group parent and the yards; its Mipo yard was merged into HD Hyundai Heavy in 2023.
