What HyundaiEng&Const does

Hyundai Motor Group's construction arm, building infrastructure, plants, housing and nuclear power projects.

Wins contracts to build and books revenue as work progresses, so its order backlog and the margin on each project decide results. Apartments under its Hillstate brand bring domestic sales, while overseas plant and nuclear projects need heavy working capital and carry risk of cost overruns. Hyundai Motor Group affiliates hold a significant stake.

In one line: Korea's Bechtel.

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).
