Analysis
Keum Kang Steel Co (053260) currently trades at 5,820 KRW, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is 7,099 KRW, implying the stock looks roughly 22.0% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 59/100 (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: medium), always confirm before acting.
Over the trailing twelve months, Keum Kang Steel Co generated revenue of 172B KRW at a net margin of 0.3%. Revenue declined 10.1% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 0.4%. Fundamentals as of Jul 22, 2026
Our scenario range runs from 6,429 KRW (bear case) to 7,768 KRW (bull case); at 5,820 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 28% below its 52-week high and 58% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Basic Materials peers we cover trades at -7% fair-value upside, at 22%, 053260 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 14 models by family
