What matters now

  • The price sits above even our optimistic bull case (2,610 KRW). The favourable scenario is already priced in.

Analysis

InkTec Co (049550) currently trades at 3,445 KRW, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is 2,174 KRW, implying the stock looks roughly 36.9% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 40/100 (below-average quality), in the Basic Materials 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: medium).

Over the trailing twelve months, InkTec Co generated revenue of 81.7B KRW at a net margin of 5.3%. Revenue grew 23.7% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 5.5%. Net debt stands at 53.9B KRW. Fundamentals as of Jul 20, 2026

Our scenario range runs from 1,630 KRW (bear case) to 2,610 KRW (bull case); at 3,445 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 23% below its 52-week high and 26% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Basic Materials peers we cover trades at -58% fair-value upside, at -37%, 049550 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.

Model Bear Bear = the cautious scenario: the same model computed with conservative anchors (lower growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bull it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target.BaseBull Bull = the optimistic scenario: the same model computed with favourable anchors (higher growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bear it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target. Evidence
