Analysis

NC Corporation (036570) currently trades at 248,500 KRW, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is 178,457 KRW, implying the stock looks roughly 28.2% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 64/100 (solid quality), in the Communication Services 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, NC Corporation generated revenue of 1.7T KRW at a net margin of 26.9%. Revenue grew 54.7% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 14.1%. Net debt stands at 44.4B KRW. Fundamentals as of Jul 17, 2026

Our scenario range runs from 156,497 KRW (bear case) to 325,016 KRW (bull case); at 248,500 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 28% below its 52-week high and 48% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Communication Services peers we cover trades at -19% fair-value upside, at -28%, 036570 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.
