Korea Exchange names 151 low-PBR firms, 5 over $7.4B
On Nov. 1, the Korea Exchange publicly flagged 151 listed companies with persistently low price-to-book ratios (PBR) — 96 on the KOSPI and 55 on the KOSDAQ — as part of its 'capital market improvement' plan. The list includes Hanwha Life, Hyundai Steel, Lotte Chemical, Lotte Shopping, and E-Mart, with five companies having a market cap exceeding 1 trillion won (about $7.4 billion). Starting Nov. 2, these firms will carry a 'low-PBR' tag on brokerage trading systems. The exchange said it will provide tailored consulting to help these firms improve corporate value. Korean media report that the move aims to encourage undervalued companies to enhance shareholder value, with some analysts noting that the success will depend on whether firms actually follow through on their plans.
