Price-to-book measured twice for every company — against total equity, and against the equity that belongs to its own shareholders.
Universe, the financial-sector exclusion, the two identity rules, how total borrowings are summed, preliminary versus filed figures, and the update policy — written out in full.
All 25 columns, including both DART receipt-number columns, so every row can be checked against its filing.
Reading the table needs no email. The file download asks for one.
Dividends, treasury holdings and cancellation history across the same universe, built from the same filings. Not published yet.
The P/B a screener shows you divides by total equity, non-controlling interests included. We rebuilt it for 183 Korean listed companies from their DART filings, measuring each one twice. The below-1.0x population shrinks from 69 to 65, and four companies cross the line.
Two filings on 19 August: one to buy 24,070,000 SK Hynix shares for KRW 40tn, one to cancel them. Read alongside the January cancellation and five disposals, 2026 shows all four things a treasury share can undergo.
138 Korean listed companies hold their own shares; 70 have ever cancelled any. The filings record those as two separate events — and the denominator you divide by decides the number.
Nine of 183 Korean listed companies hold net cash worth 30% or more of their market capitalisation. Getting to nine meant deleting 85 rows we had already published — and the rule we added instead.
The two companies earned a combined KRW 10.199tn in first-half operating profit, KRW 2.809tn less than a year earlier, while revenue rose at both. The less noticed fact: Kia earned 90.1% of Hyundai’s operating profit on 65.7% of its revenue — a gap that has held for five straight years.
LG Energy Solution’s H1 2026 revenue rose 10.5% to KRW 14.115tn, yet operating profit swung to a KRW 94.0bn loss and liabilities grew KRW 9.765tn. Q1 was a loss, Q2 a profit — what to check next quarter.
Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix earned a combined KRW 244.88tn in operating profit in H1 2026, 8.7 times a year earlier. The less noticed fact: Q2 operating margins split 76.3% to 52.2% in Hynix’s favour.
Sewon Precision trades at KRW 105.9bn while holding KRW 376.8bn in net current assets — a 0.16x PBR net-net. The question is not whether it is cheap, but whether those assets ever reach shareholders.
More than half of KG Eco Solution’s consolidated equity is non-controlling interests. On the shareholders’ share, the P/B is 0.19x and the P/E 3.4x — and the past two weeks of group funding disclosures point away from an unwinding discount.
A single-product wire harness maker grew revenue 52% and operating profit 126% in 2025, yet trades at 0.4x equity and 1.4x operating profit. The August half-year report decides whether the jump was structural or a one-off.
Korea’s delisting market-cap requirement rose in July 2026 and rises again in January 2027. An actual count puts 174 listed companies below the current line today and 465 below next year’s — 18% of all common shares.
