Why the model and the price differ
The model is 111% 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 ₩111,500, the model needs an operating margin of 7.7% every year (it uses 16.7%).
- Or revenue growth −21.1 points a year higher than assumed in each of the 5 years.
- Analysts' forecasts for 2026: revenue ₩3.7T, operating profit ₩623B (16.7% margin) (1 broker). The model starts from the last 12 months reported.
- Analysts' forecasts for 2027: revenue ₩4.1T, operating profit ₩722B (17.7% margin) (1 broker). The model starts from the last 12 months reported.
- Today's P/E is 10.5× against a typical 10.6× 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 ₩102,850 a share)Now 1.08× | ₩120,6001.17× | ₩138,0861.34× | ₩195,8131.90× |
| Price / earnings (last 12 months: ₩10,604 a share)Now 10.5× | ₩85,7568.09× | ₩112,14710.6× | ₩157,28614.8× |
| P/E on run-rate earnings (Q2 2026 × 4: ₩8,718 a share)Now 12.8× | ₩70,5048.09× | ₩92,20110.6× | ₩129,31214.8× |
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.
