Ten separately listed Korean companies filed a delisting-risk disclosure with DART on September 18, 2026. On each of the four prior business days we checked, the same count was zero.
The ten: Mgen Solution, Qaid, Zaigle, Omni Systems, Jarvis, K Bio Labs, Kyobo 16th SPAC, East Aide, Jeil M&S, and Samyoung ENC.
What we counted, and what we did not
| Date | Delisting-risk filings (distinct companies) |
|---|---|
| Sept 10 | 0 |
| Sept 11 | 0 |
| Sept 14 | 0 |
| Sept 15 | 0 |
| Sept 18 | 10 |
We scan DART’s daily filing list and tag each report by its title text. “Delisting-risk disclosure” is one of the report categories KRX requires when a listed company meets specific trigger conditions — such as an auditor’s opinion qualification, sustained capital impairment, or another listing-rule breach. Filing the disclosure is a regulatory obligation that follows from meeting a trigger; it is a warning flag, not a delisting decision.
We looked for a shared cause — a filing deadline, an index-rebalancing date, an audit-season cutoff — that would explain why ten unrelated companies filed on the same day. We did not find one we could confirm, so we are not naming one. It may be coincidence, a shared regulatory deadline we have not identified, or something else; we report the count, not a theory.
What this figure cannot tell you
A delisting-risk filing does not mean KRX has moved to delist the company, does not tell you how likely an eventual delisting is, and does not distinguish a first-time trigger from a company already working through an improvement period. Some companies file this disclosure repeatedly over months or years without ever being delisted. We hold the filing count, not the outcome.
Method
We pull DART’s daily filing list via the public Corporate Disclosure Information API and match each report title against a fixed set of category patterns, including delisting-risk disclosure. Multiple filings from the same company on the same day are counted once. The five-day comparison window is the most recent business days for which we hold a complete daily scan. Not investment advice.
Data & Verification Notes
- Data as of
- Sources
- Financial Services Commission (Republic of Korea) / DART — Corporate Disclosure Information Open API — filing list by date
- SeoulMarkets — Daily breaking-disclosure scan, weighted by report-type (collect-dart-breaking.mjs)
- Cross-checks
- Counted by distinct company name after de-duplicating multiple filings from the same firm on the same day; ten companies, twelve raw filings
- Checked the five prior business days (Sept 10, 11, 14, 15) for the same report-type tag: zero companies on each of those days
- "Delisting-risk" here means the company itself filed a disclosure whose report title matches DART's delisting-risk-disclosure category — not that KRX has announced an actual delisting
- Excluded figures
- Why ten firms filed on the same calendar day — we checked for a shared regulatory deadline and found none we could confirm, so we report the count without a cause
- Whether any of these ten will actually be delisted — a delisting-risk filing is a disclosure obligation, not an outcome
- Any view on whether to hold or sell these names — this is not investment advice
