Nongshim (KR7004370003) will launch Gambas Chapagetti on October 27, 2026, turning a consumer contest recipe into a commercial product, MoneyToday reported on October 13, 2026. The move gives Nongshim stock a concrete product-development angle while the latest figures show double-digit revenue growth.

Three milestones shape the story

On June 30, 2026, Nongshim reported second-quarter revenue of KRW 956.06 billion and operating profit of KRW 60.07 billion in the standardized financial data. ATS View reported the quarter's revenue at KRW 956.00 billion, up 10.20 percent year on year, with operating profit of KRW 59.30 billion.

On September 17, 2026, Nongshim's first-half consolidated revenue stood at KRW 1.8901 trillion, up 7.30 percent year on year, while operating profit reached KRW 126.70 billion, up 31.70 percent, according to Chosunbiz.

What does the product mean?

Gambas Chapagetti is based on a recipe that won Nongshim's 2025 Chapagetti cooking contest. The product combines Chapagetti noodles with shrimp flavor, olive-flavored flakes and fried garlic, and it will launch first at E-Mart on October 27, 2026, according to MoneyToday.

The commercial logic is broader than one noodle product. First-half overseas subsidiary revenue rose 26.80 percent year on year to KRW 641.40 billion, lifting its share of total revenue to 33.90 percent from 28.70 percent, Korea JoongAng Daily reported on October 11, 2026. Product launches tied to consumer ideas therefore sit alongside a measurable overseas expansion effort.

Dates investors can track

Consumer voting and tasting for two Shin Ramyun concepts runs through October 18, 2026, and Nongshim plans a new product release in November 2026 based on the evaluation results, according to MoneyToday. The October 27 launch provides the next concrete commercial date.

Nongshim's reported first-half operating margin was 6.70 percent, up from 5.50 percent a year earlier, according to Chosunbiz. That comparison makes overseas scale and product conversion the two measurable themes behind the current Nongshim stock story.
