Market Capitalization
The number of South Korean companies with a market capitalization exceeding 1 trillion won ($692.1 million) jumped 13 percent in less than two months since the start of the year, driven by a continued stock rally. As of Friday, 365 companies listed on the local stock market met this threshold, up 42 from the end of last year. This surge is attributed to strong gains in the KOSPI and KOSDAQ indices.

Building on November's EV sales slump where Tesla gained market share despite industry declines (see prior coverage), Tesla topped US automakers with a $1.61 trillion market value as 2025 ended, amid tariffs, slowing EV adoption, and policy shifts. GM, Ford, Rivian, and Lucid followed with mixed results.
