Analysis
NPK Co (048830) currently trades at 1,017 KRW, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is 1,028 KRW, implying the stock looks roughly 1.1% fairly valued today. The Quality Score stands at 65/100 (solid quality), in the Basic Materials 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, NPK Co generated revenue of 65.8B KRW at a net margin of 3.9%. Revenue declined 12.1% year over year. Net debt stands at 8.0B KRW. Fundamentals as of Jul 20, 2026
Our scenario range runs from 771.24 KRW (bear case) to 1,285 KRW (bull case); at 1,017 KRW, the current price sits within 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 24% below its 52-week high and 61% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Basic Materials peers we cover trades at -46% fair-value upside, at 1%, 048830 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 21 models by family
Widest divergence: Asset-Based (1,657 KRW) versus Growth Earnings (812.90 KRW). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
