KOSPI 200 Rebalancing: Constituents with a ±5%pt Free Float Change

Strong earnings stocks can protect investors against inflation risk.So, I examined the first-quarter operating profits of all the KOSPI stocks and by how far they beat the local street consensus (compiled by FnGuide).For this, I used the following filters:
1Q21 operating profit beat the local market consensus by 10% or higher.
1Q21 operating profit exceeded ₩50B.
1Q21 operating profit increased year over year.
A total of 59 KOSPI stocks satisfy these filters, as shown below, which potentially serve as an inflation-hedged stock for a basket trade.
