Why the model and the price differ
The model is 54% 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 ₩19,870, the model needs an operating margin of 6.6% every year (it uses 13.1%).
- Or revenue growth −20.6 points a year higher than assumed in each of the 5 years.
- Margins ranged from 4.5% to 14.2% 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.
- Today's P/E is 13.0× against a typical 13.0× 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.

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 ₩18,590 a share)Now 1.07× | ₩13,4260.72× | ₩19,5051.05× | ₩26,7941.44× |
| Price / earnings (last 12 months: ₩1,532 a share)Now 13.0× | ₩11,7037.64× | ₩19,87013.0× | ₩41,68327.2× |
| P/E on run-rate earnings (Q2 2026 × 4: ₩3,298 a share)Now 6.03× | ₩25,1877.64× | ₩42,76313.0× | ₩89,70727.2× |
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.
