Communication Services · KR · Market cap 96.3B KRW
Fair value as of: Aug 19, 2026
From 3 valuation models · updated today
Share price +2.0% over the past month.
Below-average quality, and screening another 77% overvalued on our models.
What matters now
- The price sits above even our optimistic bull case (559.26 KRW). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
- Weak quality (39/100) and above fair value at the same time, the margin of safety is missing on both counts.
- The large gap to fair value rests on thin data (low evidence): fewer applicable models and a shorter history. Read it with extra caution.

Analysis
YTN Co.Ltd (040300) currently trades at 2,045 KRW, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is 473.04 KRW, implying the stock looks roughly 76.9% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 39/100 (below-average 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: low).
Over the trailing twelve months, YTN Co.Ltd generated revenue of 151B KRW at a net margin of 35.7%. Revenue grew 19.2% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 25.4%. Fundamentals as of Aug 19, 2026
Our scenario range runs from 389.84 KRW (bear case) to 559.26 KRW (bull case); at 2,045 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 58% below its 52-week high, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Communication Services peers we cover trades at -8% fair-value upside, at -77%, 040300 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 3 models by family
Widest divergence: Asset-Based (3,238 KRW) versus Dividend Discount (596.09 KRW). Highest evidence: Gordon GGM (70).
