Analysis
Cosmo Chemical Co (005420) currently trades at 10,760 KRW, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is 13,412 KRW, implying the stock looks roughly 24.7% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 37/100 (below-average quality), in the Basic Materials sector. Bull case: trading below our estimate, it may offer upside if the fundamentals hold. Bear case: a low price can be a value trap when quality is weak or the data is thin (evidence: medium), always confirm before acting.
Over the trailing twelve months, Cosmo Chemical Co generated revenue of 686B KRW at a net margin of -3.8%. Revenue grew 13.6% year over year. It earns a return on equity of -5.0%. Net debt stands at 352B KRW. Fundamentals as of Jul 24, 2026
Our scenario range runs from 6,637 KRW (bear case) to 20,187 KRW (bull case); at 10,760 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 50% below its 52-week high, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Basic Materials peers we cover trades at -58% fair-value upside, at 25%, 005420 screens cheaper 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 10 models by family
