Analysis
HK Co (044780) currently trades at 1,305 KRW, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is 3,437 KRW, implying the stock looks roughly 163.4% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 60/100 (solid quality), in the Industrials 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: medium), always confirm before acting.
Over the trailing twelve months, HK Co generated revenue of 50.5B KRW at a net margin of 12.0%. Revenue declined 42.5% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 9.9%. Net debt stands at 477M KRW. Fundamentals as of Jul 22, 2026
Our scenario range runs from 2,908 KRW (bear case) to 5,293 KRW (bull case); at 1,305 KRW, the current price sits below 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 32% below its 52-week high and 19% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Industrials peers we cover trades at -48% fair-value upside, at 163%, 044780 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.
All 9 models by family
Widest divergence: Multiples (4,234 KRW) versus Earnings-Based (2,070 KRW). Highest evidence: Residual Income (76).
