A summary of only the metrics that stand out as notably good or weak against general benchmarks. Where a comparison is possible, the position against the median of stocks in the same sector is shown too. The stock count on each sector line covers only stocks with that metric, so it differs by metric.

Metric scores run up to 100, and the middle score is 50. If all nine metrics scored 50, the overall score would also be 50. Each bar is the contribution of one metric: how far its score sits from the 50 baseline, converted by that metric weight. Right means it raised the overall score, left means it lowered it.
Adding the nine contributions above to the baseline gives 45.1 points, and this stock's overall score is 45. The overall score is calculated from unrounded metric scores and then truncated, while the contributions here are rounded to one decimal place, so the two can differ by up to 1 point. Metrics that are not measured values still carry a contribution, because their scores did go into the overall score and hiding them would hide part of the basis of the grade.

Where this score sits

The Grade C band runs from 30 to 49 points, 20 points wide. This stock's 45 points sit 15 points above the lower boundary, and 5 points remain to 50, where Grade B starts.
Within the Healthcare sector alone, it ranks No. 36 of 40 stocks with an overall score, and the median overall score of the sector is 65.
Unlike metric values, the overall score uses the same baseline for every market and currency, so Korean and US stocks share one sample. The grade boundaries of 85, 70, 50 and 30 points apply equally to every stock, so the counts above are how the sample actually splits at those boundaries. Because one point can decide a grade, two stocks with different grades can be closer in score than two stocks with the same grade. The shares and ranks here describe only the major stocks Jupick covers, not every listed stock.

Ratios as amounts
Base ₩10,000Every ratio metric of this stock, restated on the same amount. If each line used a different base, the amounts could not be compared, so every line starts from ₩10,000.
For every ₩10,000 of revenue: operating loss ₩7,520.Operating margin -75.2%
- For every ₩10,000 of equityyearly net loss ₩1,690
- If last year's revenue was ₩10,000this year's revenue ₩11,240
- For every ₩10,000 of equitydebt owed ₩2,970
- For every ₩10,000 of debt due within a yearassets turning into cash within a year ₩85,350
- For ₩10,000 of book equitymarket value ₩47,000
The ₩10,000 base is an assumption chosen for easy reading, not this company's actual revenue or equity. The values multiply the ratios shown as they are and round to the nearest won, so they can differ from the source by a few won. Metrics that make no sense as amounts are left out: values that are not measured, values that cannot be confirmed as measured, and loss-making cases where the base amount does not hold.
Metrics that decide the grade
Overall 45 · Grade CThe overall score recalculated with just one of the nine metrics set to the middle score of 50. Only one metric changes at a time, and the other eight stay as they are.
With one metric at 50, the overall score reaches the 50 point boundary, but within rounding error, so no grade change is stated.
The metric closest to a boundary is ROE. With only this metric at 50, the overall score would be 50.3, reaching the 50 point boundary. Earnings · metric 10 · contribution -5.3
The scores above add up this stock's metric scores again with one of them set to 50. They are not new grades, and this stock's grade stays at C. Metric scores and contributions are rounded to one decimal place, so a change within 1 point of a boundary is not reported as a grade change. Changing two or more metrics at once was not calculated.
Where the share price enters the grade
The grade above turns 9 metrics into scores and combines them. Counting how many of them use the share price shows whether the grade moves when the price moves.
The 9 graded metrics stay the same when the share price moves.

For Korean stocks, Dividend yield is taken as stated in the disclosure, so it is not recalculated when the share price changes. What changes the grade is the next financial filing, not the share price.

Won and dollar stocks have different metric levels, so they are counted in separate samples. This is only where a value sits in a line-up, not a sign of good or bad and not an investment judgement. Stocks without the metric, and loss-making stocks where PER or PBR does not hold, are left out of the sample. The remaining sample size is shown on each line. The sector axis is not drawn when the same-currency, same-sector sample has fewer than 8 stocks.
