Model ⓘEach model values the company its own way (discounted cash flow, earnings, assets, dividends). The fair value above is their evidence-weighted blend, not the output of a single model.

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).

Revenue & earnings trend

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. 54/100
Revenue is growing, but margins or cash flow do not fully confirm the trend.
Revenue growth 1 year
+32.4%
Revenue growth 3 years ⓘMeasures the company's TOTAL revenue from reported annual statements: compound average growth per year (CAGR) from the fiscal year 3, 5 or N years back to the most recent comparable fiscal year. Not per share: buybacks do not change this number, and a merger can appear as a growth jump. Per-share growth (which does include buybacks) is in the value-creation card.
+20.1%
Revenue growth 5 years ⓘMeasures the company's TOTAL revenue from reported annual statements: compound average growth per year (CAGR) from the fiscal year 3, 5 or N years back to the most recent comparable fiscal year. Not per share: buybacks do not change this number, and a merger can appear as a growth jump. Per-share growth (which does include buybacks) is in the value-creation card.

Not per share: buybacks do not change this number, and a merger can appear as a growth jump. Per-share growth (which does include buybacks) is in the value-creation card.
+9.3%
Profit margin (trend) ⓘOperating margin then vs now, from reported annual statements. A falling margin after a boom year is the classic peak-earnings signal: the growth rate then leans on an inflated base.

Growth Forecast

A lot of optimism in the price
The price assumes more growth than the company has delivered so far.
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).
+47.4%
Yearly growth needed for the next five years to justify today's price.
What forecasts expect
n/a
No analyst forecast available.
After inflation (South Korea: IMF forecast 2.1% a year to 2030, 2.1% from 2016 to 2025) that is about +44.4% a year for the price.

Our models discount Sajodaerim at 11.8 %: a base by market capitalisation (micro), damped by beta 0.59, 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 Sajodaerim that is +47.4 % per year a year over ten years, using the same discount rate (11.8 %) and the same formula as our fair value.
How much growth has Sajodaerim (003960) delivered so far?
Over the past 5 years revenue at Sajodaerim grew +15.3 % a year. The price currently implies +47.4 % 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.
How fast is the sector of Sajodaerim (003960) growing?
The median revenue growth in the sector is +2.9 % a year. That is the yardstick for the growth priced into Sajodaerim (+47.4 % per year a year): it shows whether the expectation is within the usual range or beyond it.
What is the free cash flow yield of Sajodaerim (003960)?
The free-cash-flow yield on the price is 3.00 %: that much free cash flow Sajodaerim produces per unit of market value. When it exceeds the discount rate of our models (11.8 %), the business already earns more than its cost of capital demands, and the price needs little additional growth.
What is the intrinsic value of Sajodaerim (003960)?
Intrinsic value and fair value mean the same thing: what the business is worth on its numbers, independent of the share price. For Sajodaerim it is 79,800 KRW per share (as of Sep 24, 2026), against a price of 26,600 KRW. It is the blended result of 14 valuation models (cash flow, earnings, asset, dividend).
Is Sajodaerim stock overvalued or undervalued in 2026?

Is fair value the same as the market price of 003960?
No. The price is what the market pays today (26,600 KRW); the fair value is what the company's own numbers justify (79,800 KRW). For Sajodaerim the two are 53,200 KRW per share apart. That gap is exactly why we show both numbers side by side.

How solid is the balance sheet of Sajodaerim (003960)?

Sajodaerim trades at 26,600 KRW, about 35% below its 52-week high of 41,175 KRW and 6% above the low of 25,000 KRW (as of Sep 23, 2026). Distance from the high says nothing about value: that is what the fair value of 79,800 KRW is for.

Is it still worth investing in stocks now?
The global stock market currently sits 14.0 % above its aggregate fair value. Sajodaerim currently trades 200 % below its own fair value, and the market average says nothing about that. An expensive market is no reason to stay out and no reason to buy everything at once: keep a broad savings plan running, buy single stocks only with money you can do without, and hold part of your money liquid while the market is high. The full picture including sectors is on is it worth investing now.
What is the share price of Sajodaerim (003960)?
The closing price on Sep 23, 2026 was 26,600 KRW. Our model-based fair value is 79,800 KRW, about +200% upside (undervalued). We carry closing prices from our data provider, not a live tick.
What should I pay attention to with Sajodaerim right now?
The large discount to fair value meets weak quality (29/100). That raises the risk this is a value trap rather than a bargain. The price is below even our cautious bear case (65,617 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.
