The value-up theme covers 66 Korean stocks, and only 9.1% of them trade above both their 20-day and 60-day averages. No member recorded a 52-week high, while 4 hit a 52-week low, and the RSI reading of 21.2 at the low end points to deeply oversold conditions for at least one name. The equal-weighted member index is bearish on both horizons, with 7 short-term and 8 medium-term signals reading bearish and none bullish, its RSI sits at 31.8, and it trades below its cloud.

Value-up (low P/B, shareholder returns)
+0.96%밸류업·저PBR
The Value-up theme groups Korean listed companies that trade at low price-to-book (P/B) ratios and are encouraged by government initiatives to improve valuation through higher dividends, share buybacks, better governance, and clearer shareholder-return policies. Korean investors often cluster these stocks together because the 'Corporate Value-up Program' and related policies have made low P/B levels, a long-standing feature of the Korea discount, a focal point for reform. The theme is commonly discussed alongside financial holding companies, utilities, and other mature sectors where balance-sheet value is high relative to market price.
