Kolon stock stood 73.30 percent below its 52-week high of KRW 88,200.00 as of October 2, 2026. Edaily reported on September 21, 2026, that Kolon Corporation ranked among KOSPI companies in the bottom tier of the low-PBR assessment at all four review points.
Low PBR puts valuation in view
The assessment included companies with persistently low price-to-book ratios within their industry groups. Edaily reported a first-half 2026 PBR of 0.32 for Kolon Corporation, while the exchange framework is designed to identify companies in the lowest sector-based valuation tiers.
The framework matters because the Korea Exchange plans to publish a low-PBR list in November 2026, with a tag displayed in brokerage trading systems. Companies can submit a corporate value enhancement plan by October 22, 2026, under the timetable described by Edaily.
Second-quarter figures improved
Kolon's second-quarter 2026 revenue reached KRW 1.71 trillion, up 13.50 percent from the same quarter a year earlier, according to ATS View. Operating profit was KRW 99.8 billion, compared with KRW 43.5 billion in the second quarter of 2025, producing a 5.80 percent margin.
Net income was KRW 55.4 billion in the second quarter of 2026, compared with a KRW 73.9 billion loss in the second quarter of 2025. The contrast shows why operating performance and valuation are moving on separate tracks: earnings improved, while the stock remains positioned near the lower end of its annual trading range.
Stock remains below its yearly high
Kolon Corporation closed at KRW 23,550.00 on the KOSPI on October 2, 2026, down KRW 600.00, or 2.48 percent, from KRW 24,150.00. Its 52-week range was KRW 20,200.00 to KRW 88,200.00, and the market capitalization was KRW 303.8 billion as of the same date.
