Computed from DART filings and KRX closes — arithmetic, not opinion. The Now column is not locked and there is no buy/sell rating beside it. Graded on enterprise value as well as book, because roughly half of POSCO's enterprise is debt-funded and the book multiple alone is misleading. First reading, so no history.
