What Doosan does

Top holding company of the Doosan chaebol; segments span electronic/semiconductor materials and industrial vehicles.

Its own businesses are small beside the group it holds: electronic materials, forklifts and IT services. Most of the value sits in listed affiliates such as Doosan Bobcat, Doosan Enerbility and Doosan Robotics, which pass up dividends and brand fees. A 2024 plan to merge Bobcat into Robotics was dropped after shareholder opposition.

Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal).
