Below-average quality, and screening another 53% overvalued on our models.

What matters now

  • Weak quality (43/100) and above fair value at the same time, the margin of safety is missing on both counts.
  • The model range is unusually wide (2,053 KRW to 6,417 KRW). The outcome hinges heavily on assumptions, so read the point estimate with caution.

Analysis

FIRSTEC Co (010820) currently trades at 6,500 KRW, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is 3,078 KRW, implying the stock looks roughly 52.6% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 43/100 (below-average quality), in the Industrials 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: high).

Over the trailing twelve months, FIRSTEC Co generated revenue of 136B KRW at a net margin of -15.8%. Revenue declined 21.7% year over year. It earns a return on equity of -33.8%. Net debt stands at 13.0B KRW. Fundamentals as of Jul 24, 2026

Our scenario range runs from 2,053 KRW (bear case) to 6,417 KRW (bull case); at 6,500 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 65% below its 52-week high and 78% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Industrials peers we cover trades at -59% fair-value upside, at -53%, 010820 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.

Model Bear Bear = the cautious scenario: the same model computed with conservative anchors (lower growth, margins and valuation multiples). 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). Together with Bear it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target. Evidence
