Price Performance Summary Investment Thesis and Valuation

Investment Thesis

JYP is a leading Korean entertainment company that has built a

strong global artist portfolio through its multi-label system. We

expect K-pop Demon Hunters’ breakout hit to enhance global

visibility for leading K-pop artists, and see JYP’s TWICE/Stray

Kids as well positioned to benefit given their scale (the second-

largest K-pop girl/boy group by global fan base) and TWICE’s

direct participation in the animation soundtrack, which should

support the next earnings upcycle that we expect in 2027.

Separately, we remain watchful on whether JYP can translate

YTD 1m 3m 12m renewed momentum in its girl group IPs into meaningful

Abs -38.0% -16.8% -26.4% -36.4% fanbase expansion.
