Value-up (low P/B, shareholder returns)
−1.54%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.
