JoongangIlbo & Joins.com:04/24/2007

 

Local companies with high foreign equity ownership perform better financially and are more stable, according to the Korea Exchange.After an analysis of the 2006 performance of 527 companies whose fiscal year ends in December, the stock exchange said 48 listed companies whose equity is owned 40 percent or more by foreign institutions had a ratio of operating profit to net sales equal to 9.7 percent.

 

That ratio was higher than the average of all 527 companies, 6.6 percent.

 

The 333 companies with less than 10 percent foreign ownership had a ratio of 3.2 percent.

 

The analysis excludes financial companies and companies whose shares are under special supervision, and is based on the level of foreign ownership on April 18.

 

The ratio of debt to equity was also lower, at 60 percent, for companies with significant foreign equity ownership.

 

The debt to equity ratio for companies with less than 10 percent foreign equity ownership was 112 percent.Companies with high foreign equity ownership accounted for 56 percent of the net profits of the 527 companies, or 21.5 trillion won ($22.6 billion).“Foreign investors seem to take fundamentals seriously such as financial performance and stability,” said an official at the stock exchange.

 

According to the Korea Exchange, Halla Climate Control Corp. had the highest foreign equity ownership at 84 percent, followed by Ssangyong Motor Co. at 80.7 percent and Hankuk Glass Industries Co. at 79 percent.By Limb Jae-un Staff Writer [jbiz91@joongang.co.kr]  - Copyrights ⓒ JoongangIlbo & Joins.com, All rights reserved. -
