Fair value as of: Aug 13, 2026

From 6 valuation models · updated 6 days ago

Share price +19.3% over the past month.

Below-average quality, screening 181% undervalued on our models.

What matters now

  • The large discount to fair value meets weak quality (39/100). That raises the risk this is a value trap rather than a bargain.
  • The price is below even our cautious bear case (5,930 KRW). The market is more pessimistic than our downside scenario.
  • The model range is unusually wide (5,930 KRW to 19,450 KRW). The outcome hinges heavily on assumptions, so read the point estimate with caution.
  • The large gap to fair value rests on thin data (low evidence): fewer applicable models and a shorter history. Read it with extra caution.

Analysis

Kumkang Kind (014280) currently trades at 4,510 KRW, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is 12,690 KRW, implying the stock looks roughly 181.4% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 39/100 (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: low), always confirm before acting.

Over the trailing twelve months, Kumkang Kind generated revenue of 801B KRW at a net margin of -3.8%. Revenue declined 0.6% year over year. It earns a return on equity of -4.4%. Net debt stands at 407B KRW. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026

Our scenario range runs from 5,930 KRW (bear case) to 19,450 KRW (bull case); at 4,510 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 46% below its 52-week high and 15% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Basic Materials peers we cover trades at -22% fair-value upside, at 181%, 014280 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
