[Alpha Biz= Reporter Kim Minyoung] This year, the National Pension Service's stock valuation fell by KRW 1.7 trillion from the end of last year, the report showed. This was largely due to a series of declines in stock prices of large-cap rechargeable batteries.
According to financial information provider FnGuide on the 21st, 276 listed companies were subject to disclosure with more than 5% owned by the National Pension Service as of the 17th, and their stock valuation totaled 138.6238 trillion won. Compared to December 29 last year (282 companies, 140.2793 trillion won), the number of stocks decreased by six, and the valuation decreased by 1.6555 trillion won (1.2%).
Sluggish stock prices in major KOSPI rechargeable batteries dragged down the National Pension Service's stock valuation. From the end of last year to the 17th, the second to sixth largest drop in valuation among national pension stocks was secondary battery stocks. LG Energy Solution (-852.5 billion won), POSCO Holdings (-729 billion won), LG Chem (-641.6 billion won), POSCO Future M (-474.4 billion won), and Samsung SDI (-466.3 billion won).
The National Pension Service's stake in these stocks has been the same so far compared to the end of last year. Shares of LG Energy Solutions have fallen 14.7% since the beginning of the year. POSCO Holdings fell 25.7%, LG Chem 24.7%, POSCO Future M 30.6% and Samsung SDI 18.2%, respectively. Compared to the end of last year, the largest drop in valuation among stocks held by the National Pension Service was NAVER, down 995.6 billion won.
On the other hand, SK Hynix saw the largest increase in valuation. Compared to the end of last year, it increased by KRW 2.1399 trillion. The 7.9% stake remained the same. Samsung BioLogics (KRW 657.8 billion), HMM (KRW 506.5 billion), Hyundai Motor (KRW 498.9 billion), and Hanmi Semiconductor (KRW 471.3 billion) have also increased significantly.
