Analysis
GAON CABLE Co (000500) currently trades at 147,700 KRW, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is 29,993 KRW, implying the stock looks roughly 79.7% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 38/100 (below-average quality), in the Technology sector. Bear case: priced above our estimate, the market already discounts strong expectations. Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: high).
Over the trailing twelve months, GAON CABLE Co generated revenue of 2.7T KRW at a net margin of 2.1%. Revenue grew 19.4% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 12.0%. Net debt stands at 276B KRW. Fundamentals as of Jul 12, 2026
Our scenario range runs from 16,676 KRW (bear case) to 38,512 KRW (bull case); at 147,700 KRW, the current price sits above that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades about 77% below its 52-week high and 181% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Technology peers we cover trades at -61% fair-value upside, at -80%, 000500 screens richer than that median.
Fair Value models
Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.
All 23 models by family
Widest divergence: DCF Models (42,178 KRW) versus Asset-Based (10,885 KRW). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
