Fair Value models

Price 100,800 KRW · Upside +67.9%
Capped: our models arrive at a very high value here. We deliberately show a more cautious Fair Value.
Model ⓘEach model values the company its own way (discounted cash flow, earnings, assets, dividends). The fair value above starts from their evidence-weighted blend, not from a single model. In cyclical trough or peak years, after dilution or a stock split it is adjusted afterwards, so it can sit above or below the models. Based on fiscal year 2025 figures (about 10 months old). Earnings retained since then (9,649 KRW per share) are deliberately not added.Bear ⓘBear = the cautious scenario: the same model computed with conservative anchors (lower growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bull it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target.BaseBull ⓘBull = the optimistic scenario: the same model computed with favourable anchors (higher growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bear it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target. If a model's bull case is above four times its base value, the table shows that limit with a > sign (like the overall Bull above): beyond it no assumption holds.Coverage ⓘCoverage = how well-backed THIS model's estimate is for this stock (0–100): how complete and reliable its input data are, and how well the model fits the company. The final Fair Value is an evidence-weighted blend, so better-evidenced models count more. Green ≥70, amber 50–69, grey below 50.
Growth Quality ⓘGrowth is valuable only when reinvestment earns attractive returns (Aswath Damodaran): sustainable growth depends on return on capital, reinvestment and efficiency. Basis: total company revenue over the periods shown on the cards (3Y/5Y/all years), not per share, so a merger can show up as a growth jump; per-share earnings growth is in the value-creation card.76/100

What shareholders gained per year (last 5 years), in KRW ⓘWhat the business itself delivers per year: earnings growth per share plus the dividend yield. This is what you get IF the market keeps valuing the stock the same way: it contains no assumption about the market changing its mind. Computed per share, so buybacks count and a merger does not pass as growth. For a company that pays no dividend it is pure earnings growth per share. Period: earnings growth per share as CAGR over the last 5 reported fiscal years (annual statements), plus the current dividend yield. The start value is the median of the three years around the start, so a single crisis year (a pandemic or a write-down) does not distort the rate. Measured in KRW: this currency has depreciated against the euro and dollar over the long run, so part of the nominal rate is currency erosion that never reaches a EUR/USD investor.

Growth Forecast
Little optimism in the price
The price assumes less growth than the company has delivered so far and less than analysts expect.
What the price assumes ⓘThis turns our valuation around: instead of asking what the share is worth, it asks what growth the current price requires. It uses the cash the company keeps after all spending (free cash flow), the same discount rate as our models, five years of growth, then slowing evenly to 2 % a year by year ten. Compared with the analysts' sales forecasts extended to the same five years (at least three analysts, for context only, it does not enter the Fair Value): within 3 percentage points counts as "in line" (amber), below that little optimism (green), above that a lot of optimism (red).
−10.0%
The company could shrink this much every year for the next five years and today's price would still be justified.
What forecasts expect ⓘAnalysts publish sales forecasts for the next two fiscal years. For the years after that, growth slows evenly to 2 % a year by year ten (2 % is the long-run rate our models use). Projected years are marked as such.
+4.4%
Yearly sales growth analysts expect, extended to five years.
After inflation (South Korea: IMF forecast 2.1% a year to 2030, 2.1% from 2016 to 2025) that is about −11.9% a year for the price and +2.3% for the forecasts.
AI conclusion: Kia shows strength via record wholesale volumes, market share gains and 47 percent higher electrified sales, yet its moderate competitive position is limited by thin public signals and governance data.
Main risk: Cheaper offerings from Chinese rivals such as BYD could erode Kia's market share and force price reductions that hit margins.
Bull case: By expanding hybrids and local production Kia could mitigate tariff and competition pressures while gaining from its EV and SDV investments.
Bear case: If Chinese price competition intensifies and tariffs remain high, Kia might lose significant share in key markets and see sustained margin pressure.
Kia posted record third-quarter wholesale volumes and market share gains in Korea and the US while lifting electrified vehicle sales 47 percent. Yet rising raw material costs, Middle East conflict impacts and heavier incentives to grow EV share pulled operating profit well below expectations. Our models see the shares as undervalued. Will the shift toward higher-margin hybrids offset these drags before they ease?

Our models discount Kia Corp at 9.8 %: a base by market capitalisation (large), damped by beta 1.06, country premium for South Korea. The same rate applies in all 26 models.
What is a reverse DCF?
A reverse DCF turns the usual calculation around. Instead of deriving a value from assumptions, it takes today's price as given and asks: what free-cash-flow growth would a company have to deliver for exactly this price to be fair? The result is not a forecast but the expectation already priced in. For Kia Corp that is -10.0 % per year a year over ten years, using the same discount rate (9.8 %) and the same formula as our fair value.

Over the past 5 years revenue at Kia Corp grew +14.0 % a year. The price currently implies -10.0 % per year free-cash-flow growth a year. Comparing the two shows how much confidence is in the price: if it demands more than has been delivered, the business has to accelerate for the maths to work.

Intrinsic value and fair value mean the same thing: what the business is worth on its numbers, independent of the share price. For Kia Corp it is 169,253 KRW per share (as of Nov 3, 2026), against a price of 100,800 KRW. It is the blended result of 26 valuation models (cash flow, earnings, asset, dividend).

What is the P/E ratio of 000270?
Kia Corp trades at a price-to-earnings ratio of 5.5 (as of Nov 3, 2026). A P/E on its own says little: it compares the price with ONE year of profit, while our fair value of 169,253 KRW is built from several models across several years. Median P/E at fiscal year-end, 10 fiscal years (2016 to 2025), reported earnings, FY2025 ex one-offs: 6.6. Other multiples: PEG 0.4, P/B 0.6, P/S 0.3, EV/EBITDA 2.3.

Is it still worth investing in stocks now?
The global stock market currently sits 15.5% above its aggregate fair value. Kia Corp currently trades 40% below its own fair value, and the market average says nothing about that.

The full picture including sectors is on is it worth investing now.

The closing price on Nov 5, 2026 was 100,800 KRW. Our model-based fair value is 169,253 KRW, about +68% upside (undervalued). We carry closing prices from our data provider, not a live tick.
What should I pay attention to with Kia Corp right now?
The price is below even our cautious bear case (109,902 KRW). The market is more pessimistic than our downside scenario. The large gap to fair value rests on thin data (low evidence): fewer applicable models and a shorter history. Read it with extra caution. Solid quality (58/100) at a price below fair value, the discount is the argument here, not the business quality. A fairly wide model range (109,902 KRW to 220,029 KRW) leaves room in how you read the outcome.
