Why the model and the price differ
The model is 366% away from today's price. A gap this size usually means the market expects something the past figures don't show yet, or the model leaves something out. What we can see:
- To match today's price of ₩4,805, the model needs an operating margin of −4.2% every year (it uses 19.2%).
- Margins ranged from −28.6% to 25.7% over the last 5 years, so this is a cyclical business. The model uses the average; the price may be set by where the cycle is now. Try the margin fade option.
- 41% of the last 12 months' net profit came from outside operations (stakes in other companies, interest, one-offs). The model adds those stakes at book value but doesn't project that income.
- The group includes a financial business (an insurer, bank or broker), whose investments and minority shareholders are left out here. A sum-of-the-parts view usually fits groups like this better.
- Today's P/E is 3.7× against a typical 3.1× over the last 10 years.

Business
- 19.2%
Operating profit as a share of revenue.
Default: through-the-cycle average of the last 12 months and the last 5 annual reports' operating margins.

Default: average of the last 3 annual reports (cash flow statements; equipment and intangibles).
- -3.9%
Stock and unpaid customer bills, less unpaid supplier bills, as a % of revenue. Each year's extra revenue ties up this much more cash.

Past years and projection
Grey columns are reported results from the annual reports (after-tax EBIT at the model's tax rate), so you can check the growth and margin assumptions against the past. Years 1–5 are the model.

Cross-check: what the market has paid before
For cyclical businesses, analysts check a DCF against the multiples the stock has traded at through past cycles. Price / book is the usual anchor for them: P/E looks highest at the bottom of a cycle, when earnings are smallest, and lowest at the top. The price each band would give today:
| Low | Typical | High | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price / book (book value ₩8,845 a share)Now 0.54× | ₩4,1940.47× | ₩5,6810.64× | ₩8,2860.94× |
| Price / earnings (last 12 months: ₩1,288 a share)Now 3.73× | ₩3,6352.82× | ₩3,9923.10× | ₩8,4136.53× |
| P/E on run-rate earnings (Q2 2026 × 4: ₩3,555 a share)Now 1.35× | ₩10,0322.82× | ₩11,0183.10× | ₩23,2166.53× |
Low, typical and high are the 10th percentile, middle and 90th percentile of month-end multiples since 2021, each against the latest report out by then, per share at today's share count; loss years and P/E above 100 are left out. Run-rate earnings are one quarter × 4, not a forecast. Model estimate based on the assumptions shown. Not a price target and not a buy or sell signal.
