Analysis
Tapex Co (055490) currently trades at 13,950 KRW, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is 13,990 KRW, implying the stock looks roughly 0.3% fairly valued today. The Quality Score stands at 55/100 (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, Tapex Co generated revenue of 149B KRW at a net margin of 3.5%. Revenue grew 24.3% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 3.3%. Net debt stands at 5.6B KRW. Fundamentals as of Jul 24, 2026
Our scenario range runs from 10,493 KRW (bear case) to 17,488 KRW (bull case); at 13,950 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 40% below its 52-week high and 8% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Basic Materials peers we cover trades at -58% fair-value upside, at 0%, 055490 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: Asset-Based (21,872 KRW) versus Earnings-Based (3,957 KRW). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
