    LG Chem maintained its earlier target of offering a 30% dividend payout to shareholders in the future when the firm achieves a return-on-equity ratio of at least 10%.

    President Lee Jae Myung is pushing publicly listed companies to resolve the so-called “Korea Discount”, which refers to a tendency for local companies to have lower valuations than global peers due to factors such as low dividend payouts, and the dominance of opaque conglomerates known as chaebols.

    In October, LG Chem also faced a push from London-based hedge fund Palliser Capital in October, which blamed a heavy discount in stock valuation and “a lack of trust” in governance and poor capital allocation.
