Analysis
ISU Chemical Co (005950) currently trades at 14,860 KRW, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is 2,082 KRW, implying the stock looks roughly 86.0% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 29/100 (below-average 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, ISU Chemical Co generated revenue of 1.9T KRW at a net margin of -0.1%. Revenue grew 58.7% year over year. It earns a return on equity of -1.9%. Net debt stands at 350B KRW. Fundamentals as of Jul 24, 2026
Our scenario range runs from 2,082 KRW (bear case) to 3,338 KRW (bull case); at 14,860 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 17% below its 52-week high and 194% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Basic Materials peers we cover trades at -46% fair-value upside, at -86%, 005950 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 8 models by family
