Basic Materials · KR · Market cap 448B KRW

A solid business, but screening 28% overvalued on our models.

What matters now

• The model range is unusually wide (7,845 KRW to 24,492 KRW). The outcome hinges heavily on assumptions, so read the point estimate with caution.
• Solid but not exceptional quality (50/100) and above fair value, neither a clear bargain nor a standout compounder.

Analysis

Kiswire Ltd (002240) currently trades at 17,300 KRW, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is 12,496 KRW, implying the stock looks roughly 27.8% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 50/100 (solid quality), in the Basic Materials 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, Kiswire Ltd generated revenue of 1.8T KRW at a net margin of 1.4%. Revenue declined 2.3% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 1.0%. Net debt stands at 695M KRW. Fundamentals as of Jul 23, 2026

Our scenario range runs from 7,845 KRW (bear case) to 24,492 KRW (bull case); at 17,300 KRW, the current price sits within 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 39% below its 52-week high and 6% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Basic Materials peers we cover trades at -25% fair-value upside, at -28%, 002240 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.

Widest divergence: Asset-Based (45,119 KRW) versus Dividend Discount (5,031 KRW). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).

Frequently asked questions

How we calculate Fair Value

Each company is valued through a stack of independent intrinsic-value models (DCF variants, residual-income, multiples and more), blended into one family-balanced consensus and weighted by how much trustworthy data backs it. A separate quality layer scores the fundamentals. Every input is real reported data, nothing guessed.
