Valuation model · Discounted cash flow (DCF)
We use a 5-year discounted cash flow: the value of the cash the business is expected to produce, in today's money.

Model estimate based on the assumptions shown. Not a price target and not a buy or sell signal. This is not financial advice.
Why the model and the price differ
The model is 351% 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 ₩3,980, the model needs an operating margin of 1.7% every year (it uses 5.6%).
- Today's P/E is 2.5× against a typical 4.5× over the last 10 years.
Treat the model as a starting point: change the assumptions to the story you believe, and compare with the multiples check below.

Margin path
Every year uses the cycle-average margin (5.6%).
Revenue growth

Default: the last 3 years' revenue growth (-0.5% a year, annual reports), fading to 3% by year 5.
- 0.4%
How much sales grow that year, compared with the year before.
Default: the last 3 years' revenue growth (-0.5% a year, annual reports), fading to 3% by year 5.

How much sales grow that year, compared with the year before.
Default: the last 3 years' revenue growth (-0.5% a year, annual reports), fading to 3% by year 5.

Default: the last 3 years' revenue growth (-0.5% a year, annual reports), fading to 3% by year 5.
Business
- 5.6%
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.

Share of operating profit paid as corporate tax.
Default: Korea's top corporate tax rate (25%) plus 10% local income tax.

The non-cash cost of wearing out equipment, added back to cash flow (% of revenue).
Default: not in the statements, so 80% of capital spending (most spending replaces equipment that wears out).

Default: average of the last 3 annual reports (cash flow statements; equipment and intangibles).
- 9.2%
Stock and unpaid customer bills, less unpaid supplier bills, as a % of revenue. Each year's extra revenue ties up this much more cash.

- 5.5%
The extra return investors want for owning shares instead of bonds.
Default: a typical premium for Korean shares.
- 5.51%
The interest rate the company would pay to borrow.
Default: the 10-year yield plus a 1.5% credit spread.

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 ₩10,715 a share)Now 0.37× | ₩5,0380.47× | ₩5,9640.56× | ₩7,4590.70× |
| Price / earnings (last 12 months: ₩1,614 a share)Now 2.47× | ₩5,2223.24× | ₩7,2574.50× | ₩9,7536.04× |
| P/E on run-rate earnings (Q2 2026 × 4: ₩450 a share)Now 8.84× | ₩1,4583.24× | ₩2,0264.50× | ₩2,7226.04× |
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.
