Korea Exchange Flags 151 Low-PBR Firms
The Korea Exchange on November 1 unveiled its first-ever list of 151 companies with persistently low price-to-book ratios (PBR), including 96 KOSPI and 55 KOSDAQ firms. Notable names include E-Mart, Hyundai Steel, Hanwha Life, Lotte Shopping, and Lotte Chemical, with some exceeding 1 trillion won in market cap. Starting November 2, these firms will carry a 'low-PBR' tag on brokerage trading systems, part of efforts to encourage value enhancement. The selection was based on PBR in the bottom 25% of the KOSPI and bottom 10% of the KOSDAQ over the past three years. Yonhap reports the exchange plans to offer tailored consulting, while securities analysts stress the importance of follow-through on corporate plans.
