Analysis
Cosmax (044820) currently trades at 22,900 KRW, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is 47,053 KRW, implying the stock looks roughly 105.5% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 48/100 (below-average quality), in the Consumer Defensive 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: high), always confirm before acting.
Over the trailing twelve months, Cosmax generated revenue of 696B KRW at a net margin of 6.1%. Revenue grew 33.0% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 13.4%. Net debt stands at 410B KRW. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026
Our scenario range runs from 30,620 KRW (bear case) to 58,816 KRW (bull case); at 22,900 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 4% below its 52-week high and 104% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Consumer Defensive peers we cover trades at -14% fair-value upside, at 105%, 044820 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 23 models by family
Widest divergence: Growth Earnings (55,402 KRW) versus Growth DCF (14,442 KRW). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
