Why the model and the price differ
The model is 60% 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 ₩6,130, the model needs an operating margin of 6.5% every year (it uses 2.7%).
- Or revenue growth +46.4 points a year higher than assumed in each of the 5 years.
- Margins ranged from −10.7% to 10.1% 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.
- 33% 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.
- Today's P/E is 39.8× against a typical 31.5× over the last 10 years.

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 ₩4,080 a share)Now 1.50× | ₩5,2871.30× | ₩7,8471.92× | ₩14,0683.45× |
| Price / earnings (last 12 months: ₩154 a share)Now 39.8× | ₩2,90918.9× | ₩4,84531.5× | ₩6,67043.3× |
| P/E on run-rate earnings (Q2 2026 × 4: ₩484 a share)Now 12.7× | ₩9,14118.9× | ₩15,22731.5× | ₩20,96143.3× |
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.
