Analysis

NAVER Corporation (035420) currently trades at 226,000 KRW, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is 231,585 KRW, implying the stock looks roughly 2.5% fairly valued today. We read business quality at 52/100 (solid quality), in the Communication Services 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: high), always confirm before acting.

Over the trailing twelve months, NAVER Corporation generated revenue of 12.5T KRW at a net margin of 14.5%. Revenue grew 16.3% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 5.7%. Net debt stands at 690B KRW. Fundamentals as of Jul 13, 2026

Our scenario range runs from 172,536 KRW (bear case) to 290,634 KRW (bull case); at 226,000 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 26% below its 52-week high and 19% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Communication Services peers we cover trades at -20% fair-value upside, at 2%, 035420 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.
