51 Korea Exchange companies holding more cash than all their debt
Cash and equivalents exceed every borrowing on the balance sheet, so net debt measured against earnings is negative.
Stocks · Non-US shares · Korea Exchange (KSC) · Ranked by Net debt to EBITDA in times, most cash on the balance sheet first · Rebuilt 2026-11-07 at 09:25 UTC
How this list is built
Net debt is every borrowing on the newest filed balance sheet less cash and equivalents, over EBITDA from the same year's income statement. The list is ordered by how much of the balance sheet is cash, because a near-zero EBITDA makes the ratio enormous without making the company any richer. The screen: companies listed on Korea Exchange, graded A or B for the quality of what they report; a median daily traded value of at least 250,000 US dollars over 90 sessions, stated in each listing's own currency, so a company nobody can trade is never on the list; and no positive price to earnings under 1, which no real company earns, and no close sitting the whole of its own 52-week high below that high, which no listing that still trades can do. 421 companies passed tonight. Each market is ranked on its own and never added to another. Figures as recomputed on 2026-11-07.
