Analysis

Young Heung I& (012160) currently trades at 2,525 KRW, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is 2,415 KRW, implying the stock looks roughly 4.3% fairly valued today. The Quality Score stands at 53/100 (solid 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, Young Heung I& generated revenue of 419B KRW at a net margin of -13.0%. Revenue declined 13.1% year over year. It earns a return on equity of -29.8%. Net debt stands at 125B KRW. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026

Our scenario range runs from 1,407 KRW (bear case) to 3,424 KRW (bull case); at 2,525 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. For context, the median of 10 Basic Materials peers we cover trades at -22% fair-value upside, at -4%, 012160 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.

Widest divergence: Growth DCF (47,344 KRW) versus Multiples (506.47 KRW). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).

How we calculate Fair Value

Each company is valued through a stack of independent intrinsic-value models (DCF variants, residual-income, multiples and more), blended into one family-balanced consensus and weighted by how much trustworthy data backs it. A separate quality layer scores the fundamentals. Every input is real reported data, nothing guessed.
