Analysis
Korea Petrochemical Ind. Co (006650) currently trades at 91,600 KRW, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is 149,920 KRW, implying the stock looks roughly 63.7% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 61/100 (solid 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, Korea Petrochemical Ind. Co generated revenue of 3.5T KRW at a net margin of 2.4%. Revenue grew 14.2% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 6.1%. Net debt stands at 125B KRW. Fundamentals as of Jul 22, 2026
Our scenario range runs from 108,549 KRW (bear case) to 180,914 KRW (bull case); at 91,600 KRW, the current price sits below 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 55% below its 52-week high and 16% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Basic Materials peers we cover trades at -46% fair-value upside, at 64%, 006650 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 24 models by family
Widest divergence: DCF Models (234,332 KRW) versus Earnings-Based (39,839 KRW). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
