THEMES · HIGH MARGIN
High-margin stocks
Operating margin is a profitability measure showing operating profit, revenue minus cost of sales and selling and administrative expenses, as a percentage of revenue. A higher value means a business structure that keeps more profit from the same revenue, a sign of a strong core business.

How this list’s grade mix differs from the market
The grades of the 24 stocks on the list are set beside the grade mix of all the major stocks Jupick scores. The overall score uses the same reference lines regardless of market or currency, so Korean and overseas stocks share one sample.
The share of S and A grades is 54.2% on this list and 29.1% across the market. The largest differences are a 14.2 percentage point higher share of grade S and a 17.8 percentage point lower share of grade C.
The bars below show the list’s share, and the vertical line over each is the market-wide share of the same grade. Both use the whole sample as 100%, so the tracks do not fill to the end.
- SList 4 · 16.7%Market 2.5%+14.2%p
- AList 9 · 37.5%Market 26.6%+10.9%p
- BList 11 · 45.8%Market 49.1%-3.3%p

A grade combines nine metrics across earnings, financial health and dividends, so it is not decided by the single metric that filtered this list. The market-wide share also includes the 24 stocks on this list, so differences look smaller by the 6% of the whole that the list makes up. The shares here describe only the major stocks Jupick covers, not all listed stocks.
