Sector metric profile
Medians of the 12 stocks in Communication, placed next to the medians of the other sectors on Jupick. The left end of each track is the sector with the lowest median and the right end the highest. The vertical line marks the median of all listed stocks.

- PBR1.6x · 12 stocks
- ROE12.6% · 12 stocks
- Operating margin20.7% · 12 stocks

The position only orders values by size. A larger value is not better or worse for any metric. Each sector has its own baseline: capital-heavy sectors tend to show higher debt ratios, and sectors with high growth expectations tend to show higher PER. Stocks whose PER or PBR is not meaningful because of losses, and stocks whose financials have not arrived yet, are left out. Metrics with fewer than 5 valid stocks are not shown.
Korea and US medians
Metric medians counted separately for 6 Korean and 6 US stocks in Communication. Only ratio metrics that compare across currencies are used, and only metrics with at least 5 valid stocks on both sides are shown.
| Metric | Korea | US |
|---|---|---|
| PER | 15.2x 5 in sample | 16.9x 6 in sample |

Of 6 metrics compared, the Korean median is lower than the US median for 5 and higher for 1.
Even within one sector, Korea and the US differ in the mix and size of listed companies, accounting rules and dividend habits, so the numbers can be far apart. A larger value on either side is not better or worse. Stocks whose PER or PBR is not meaningful because of losses, and stocks whose financials have not arrived yet, are left out, so sample sizes differ by metric.
