Samsung Gongjo, a specialized automotive parts company, is showing strong performance. It is emerging as a company with a low price-to-book ratio (PBR) in line with the government's 'Corporate Value-Up Program' policy.
As of 10:54 AM on the 5th, Samsung Gongjo recorded 9,450 KRW, up 290 KRW (3.17%) compared to the previous trading day. This is interpreted as a result of Samsung Gongjo being recognized as an undervalued value stock, reflecting expectations of benefits from the government's support policy.
Previously, the government announced various policies to significantly resolve the Korea discount. The goal is to raise the average PBR of the domestic stock market, which stood at 1.1 times at the end of last year, to at least the Japanese level of 1.4 times, and ideally to the average of U.S.-listed stocks at 4.6 times. Samsung Gongjo's PBR is approximately 0.28 times.
Along with the government's corporate value-up policy, the positive outlook for the automotive industry is also reflected. Samsung Gongjo supplies parts to various automotive and mid-to-long-term companies, including Hyundai Motor and Kia. Hyundai Motor and Kia each reached 235,000 KRW and 121,300 KRW respectively during today's trading session, marking 52-week highs.
