THEMES · LOW PER
Low-PER stocks
PER (price to earnings ratio) is the share price divided by earnings per share, showing how many times its earnings the current price trades at. A lower value means the price is low relative to earnings.
Stocks in this theme
By PERBecause the typical PER differs by industry and growth, a low PER cannot simply be taken to mean the stock is priced below its worth. Below are the stocks in order of current PER, lowest first. It is a list sorted by a metric, not a suggestion to trade.

Which slice of the market this list takes
This list is the top 24 stocks by PER. The PER values on it run from 2.2x to the cutoff of 6.9x.
Of the 24 stocks with a known sector, Financials has the most with 15, followed by Consumer cyclical with 4, Materials with 2. Because the list is filtered on one metric only, its sector mix can differ from the market as a whole.
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 25% on this list and 29.1% across the market. The largest difference is a 5.1 percentage point higher share of grade B.
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 0 · 0%Market 2.5%-2.5%p
- AList 6 · 25%Market 26.6%-1.6%p
- BList 13 · 54.2%Market 49.1%+5.1%p
- CList 5 · 20.8%Market 17.8%+3%p
- DList 0 · 0%Market 4%-4%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.
This list is sorted by a metric from public data and is provided for information. It is not a suggestion to trade any stock and not investment advice. Grades and metrics summarize the current state and do not forecast future returns.
