Analysis
CJ Corporation (001040) currently trades at 145,700 KRW, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is 90,050 KRW, implying the stock looks roughly 38.2% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 50/100 (solid quality), in the Industrials 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: medium).
Over the trailing twelve months, CJ Corporation generated revenue of 45.9T KRW at a net margin of 0.3%. Revenue grew 8.0% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 1.1%. Net debt stands at 11.2T KRW. Fundamentals as of Jul 17, 2026
Our scenario range runs from 67,537 KRW (bear case) to 112,562 KRW (bull case); at 145,700 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 38% below its 52-week high and 5% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Industrials peers we cover trades at -14% fair-value upside, at -38%, 001040 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.
