Analysis
Hankuk Carbon Co (017960) currently trades at 23,100 KRW, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is 12,435 KRW, implying the stock looks roughly 46.2% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 59/100 (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: high).
Over the trailing twelve months, Hankuk Carbon Co generated revenue of 896B KRW at a net margin of 10.7%. Revenue declined 5.7% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 17.9%. Net debt stands at 52.9B KRW. Fundamentals as of Jul 22, 2026
Our scenario range runs from 9,326 KRW (bear case) to 22,693 KRW (bull case); at 23,100 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 57% below its 52-week high and 5% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Basic Materials peers we cover trades at -46% fair-value upside, at -46%, 017960 screens richer 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 24 models by family
