【Today News Reporter Choi Byung-chun】 The topography of large domestic companies fluctuated greatly during the year when the coronavirus infection-19 (Corona 19) swept. In particular, Hanjin, which takes over Asiana Airlines, and non-face-to-face beneficiaries such as Kakao, Naver, Netmarble, and Celltrion are expected to show remarkable progress.
As a result of forecasting changes in assets this year of 64 conglomerates designated by the Fair Trade Commission on the 10th, the company evaluation site CEO Score, the total amount of fair assets was analyzed to be 2261 trillion 896 billion won, an increase of 84.9889 billion won from last year. The survey was conducted based on fair assets at the end of September last year, taking into account fair assets, mergers and acquisitions, and affiliate separation as of September last year.
A total of 18 groups by asset size remain the same as last year, but a big change in ranking is expected in 46 groups.
The Samsung Group’s fair assets increased by KRW 15,5690 billion a year to KRW 44.41 trillion, maintaining the dominant position this year.
Hyundai Motor Group is expected to remain in second place with 243 trillion 684.8 billion won, and SK Group will maintain 3rd place with 232.369 billion won. For Hyundai Motor, the asset gap of SK widened from 9,179.8 billion won last year to 11,647.9 billion won this year.
Following this, LG (13.7 trillion won), Lotte (120 trillion 87 trillion won), POSCO (84 trillion 89.3 billion won), and Hanwha (74 trillion 404.9 billion won) also maintained the same 4th to 7th place as last year.
However, the 8th place will be changed to Hyundai Heavy Industries, which acquired Dunsan Infracore from GS last year. It is expected that Hyundai Heavy Industries will increase its fair assets by 6,8109 billion won to 69,673.5 billion won in one year. GS also increased assets by KRW 1,2.3 trillion, but is expected to go down one notch to KRW 67,755 trillion.
Nonghyup also maintains the 10th place as last year with an asset size of 63,4791 billion won. Hanjin, which is acquiring Asiana Airlines, is expected to rise by 24,36.4 billion won to 57,5853 billion won, jumping three steps to 11th. Hanjin ranked 9th in terms of business groups with owners, and in fact re-entered the top 10 in the business world.
The Shinsegae, KT, and CJ rankings, which ranked 11th to 13th last year due to Hanjin’s injury, are expected to descend one step this year.
Outside the top 10, the sectors that benefit from the impact of Corona 19 have made a great stride. Kakao’s ranking rises from 23rd last year to 22nd this year. Naver ranks from 41st to 34th, and Netmarble ranks from 47th to 38th.
Celltrion’s asset scale has increased by more than 5 trillion won from 8,8377 billion won last year to 13,8642 billion won this year. Celltrion is the only one that has risen by double digits. This is largely due to the in-kind investment of Celltrion Healthcare stock held by Chairman Seo Jeong-jin while Celltrion founded Celltrion Healthcare Holdings.
On the other hand, Doosan fell from 15th to 17th to 22,342.1 billion won, down 6,908.6 billion won in asset size due to the sale of Doosan Infracore.
In addition, Yeongpoong (28th → 29th), Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering (29th → 31st), Kolon (33th → 36th), E-Land (36th → 39th), OCI (35th → 41st), Taeyoung (37th → 42nd), SeAH (40th → 43th), Nexon (42th → 44th), Lakeside Construction (44th → 45th), Jungheung Construction (46th → 48th), etc. Is expected.
