Analysis
Samyang Foods Co (003230) currently trades at 1,306,000 KRW, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is 1,010,543 KRW, implying the stock looks roughly 22.6% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 60/100 (solid quality), in the Consumer Defensive 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, Samyang Foods Co generated revenue of 2.5T KRW at a net margin of 17.1%. Revenue grew 35.0% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 37.4%. Net debt stands at 106B KRW. Fundamentals as of Jul 11, 2026
Our scenario range runs from 754,340 KRW (bear case) to 1,266,747 KRW (bull case); at 1,306,000 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 near its 52-week high and 33% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Consumer Defensive peers we cover trades at 17% fair-value upside, at -23%, 003230 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 16 models by family
