ADR ratio is A fraction: each Nasdaq ADS (skhy, Citibank N.A. depositary) represents one-tenth of a common share, so adr_ratio = 0.1 - multiplying an ADS price by 1/2/5/10 is the classic error here. The ADS IPO priced 2026-07-10 at US$149.00 per ADS (= US$1,490 per common share) and issued 17,790,000 NEW common shares, so any count taken before July 2026 (712,702,365 or the older 728,002,365 line) is too low. No over-allotment option was granted (Korean law).

Share counts move on a filing cadence, prices move continuously — so this figure is exact only as of the two dates above, and we publish both rather than a single undated number. This company is quoted here through a depositary receipt (SKHY), where one receipt represents 0.1 ordinary shares; the price is put on an ordinary-share basis before it meets the share count.
