LIG Nex1 denies rumors of a delay in the US IPO of its subsidiary Ghost Robotics, reaffirming a 2029 target. Speculation arose due to recent financial pressures, including a backlog from the US government shutdown affecting defense contracts.

Ghost Robotics, acquired in 2024 for 332 billion won, has contracts with the US Air Force and plans to expand its footprint in defense. Despite operating losses, analysts predict a breakeven in 2025 and profitability by 2027.
