Analysis
Taewoong Co (044490) currently trades at 32,000 KRW, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is 4,098 KRW, implying the stock looks roughly 87.2% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 45/100 (below-average quality), in the Industrials 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, Taewoong Co generated revenue of 352B KRW at a net margin of 2.3%. Revenue grew 3.1% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 1.3%. Net debt stands at 65.4B KRW. Fundamentals as of Jul 20, 2026
Our scenario range runs from 2,859 KRW (bear case) to 5,751 KRW (bull case); at 32,000 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 48% below its 52-week high and 42% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Industrials peers we cover trades at -72% fair-value upside, at -87%, 044490 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 22 models by family
