Analysis

Kbi Metal Co (024840) currently trades at 5,300 KRW, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is 6,300 KRW, implying the stock looks roughly 18.9% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 44/100 (below-average quality), in the Technology 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: medium), always confirm before acting.

Over the trailing twelve months, Kbi Metal Co generated revenue of 785B KRW at a net margin of 1.0%. Revenue grew 14.2% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 7.1%. Net debt stands at 118B KRW. Fundamentals as of Jul 22, 2026

Our scenario range runs from 3,876 KRW (bear case) to 8,725 KRW (bull case); at 5,300 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 55% below its 52-week high and 227% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Technology peers we cover trades at -73% fair-value upside, at 19%, 024840 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
