description: "LY Corp expects a first-half loss for the period ending June 30, 2026, driven by weaker US demand, lower average selling prices, and high operating costs. Volume pressure resulted from fewer 40-foot containers loaded due to reduced US customer demand. Additionally, a stronger Malaysian ringgit against the US dollar contributed to lower prices. Elevated administrative and marketing expenses further impacted profitability. The company plans to release its official 1H2026 financial results on or before August 14, 2026."
