Analysis
LIG Defense&Aerospace Co (079550) currently trades at 702,000 KRW, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is 215,009 KRW, implying the stock looks roughly 69.4% overvalued today. We read business quality at 44/100 (below-average quality), in the Industrials 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, LIG Defense&Aerospace Co generated revenue of 4.6T KRW at a net margin of 6.8%. Revenue grew 28.7% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 20.7%. Net debt stands at 734B KRW. Fundamentals as of Jul 17, 2026
Our scenario range runs from 152,862 KRW (bear case) to 277,157 KRW (bull case); at 702,000 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 30% below its 52-week high and 96% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Industrials peers we cover trades at -55% fair-value upside, at -69%, 079550 screens richer 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 15 models by family
