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 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:

LowTypicalHigh
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×

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.
