Analysis
Korea Business News Co (039340) currently trades at 4,860 KRW, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is 2,187 KRW, implying the stock looks roughly 55.0% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 70/100 (solid quality), in the Technology 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, Korea Business News Co generated revenue of 96.4B KRW at a net margin of 15.3%. Revenue declined 67.9% year over year. Fundamentals as of Jul 22, 2026
Our scenario range runs from 1,640 KRW (bear case) to 2,779 KRW (bull case); at 4,860 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 23% below its 52-week high and 14% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Technology peers we cover trades at 8% fair-value upside, at -55%, 039340 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 19 models by family
