From 1 valuation models · updated 6 days ago

Below-average quality, and screening another 16% overvalued on our models.

What matters now

  • Weak quality (36/100) and above fair value at the same time, the margin of safety is missing on both counts.
  • A fairly wide model range (717.90 KRW to 1,436 KRW) leaves room in how you read the outcome.
  • Evidence is limited here (fewer models, shorter history), so the fair value is a rougher estimate than usual.

Analysis

Leaders Cosmetics Co. Ltd (016100) currently trades at 1,142 KRW, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is 961.99 KRW, implying the stock looks roughly 15.8% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 36/100 (below-average quality), in the Consumer Defensive 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: low).

Over the trailing twelve months, Leaders Cosmetics Co. Ltd generated revenue of 67.2B KRW at a net margin of -12.3%. Revenue declined 6.1% year over year. It earns a return on equity of -17.1%. Net debt stands at 26.3B KRW. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026

Our scenario range runs from 717.90 KRW (bear case) to 1,436 KRW (bull case); at 1,142 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. The share trades about 63% below its 52-week high and 3% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Consumer Defensive peers we cover trades at -38% fair-value upside, at -16%, 016100 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
