Analysis
Hankook Steel Co (025890) currently trades at 2,490 KRW, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is 641.79 KRW, implying the stock looks roughly 74.2% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 51/100 (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, Hankook Steel Co generated revenue of 39.3B KRW at a net margin of -1.0%. Revenue declined 6.3% year over year. It earns a return on equity of -1.1%. Net debt stands at 953M KRW. Fundamentals as of Jul 22, 2026
Our scenario range runs from 459.96 KRW (bear case) to 823.62 KRW (bull case); at 2,490 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 near its 52-week high and 67% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Basic Materials peers we cover trades at -7% fair-value upside, at -74%, 025890 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 10 models by family
