Unfortunately, their NAV discount tells a different story. High-NAV discount holdco stocks are BGF, Halla Holdings, Nongshim Holdings, and Youngone Holdings. In contrast, Hanjin Kal and Hankook &amp; Co still have substantial room for further deflation relative to their local peers in NAV discount.* FYI, only Halla Holdings has significant operating operations.
