Analysis
Moonbaesteel Co (008420) currently trades at 2,250 KRW, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is 4,862 KRW, implying the stock looks roughly 116.1% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 46/100 (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, Moonbaesteel Co generated revenue of 158B KRW at a net margin of 4.0%. Revenue declined 7.2% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 6.0%. Net debt stands at 23.4B KRW. Fundamentals as of Jul 24, 2026
Our scenario range runs from 3,647 KRW (bear case) to 6,078 KRW (bull case); at 2,250 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 37% below its 52-week high and 20% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Basic Materials peers we cover trades at -7% fair-value upside, at 116%, 008420 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 8 models by family
