Fair value as of: Aug 13, 2026

From 3 valuation models · updated 6 days ago

Fair value updated Aug 13, 2026, revised from 1,132 KRW to 2,130 KRW (+88.1%) since Jul 24, 2026. Share price −4.7% over the past month.

Below-average quality, and screening another 15% overvalued on our models.

What matters now

  • The price sits above even our optimistic bull case (2,430 KRW). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
  • Weak quality (40/100) and above fair value at the same time, the margin of safety is missing on both counts.
  • Evidence is limited here (fewer models, shorter history), so the fair value is a rougher estimate than usual.

Analysis

Kec Corporation (092220) currently trades at 2,520 KRW, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is 2,130 KRW, implying the stock looks roughly 15.5% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 40/100 (below-average quality), in the Technology 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: low).

Over the trailing twelve months, Kec Corporation generated revenue of 230B KRW at a net margin of -12.7%. Revenue grew 1.1% year over year. It earns a return on equity of -8.7%. Net debt stands at 42.1B KRW. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026

Our scenario range runs from 1,936 KRW (bear case) to 2,430 KRW (bull case); at 2,520 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 76% below its 52-week high, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Technology peers we cover trades at -72% fair-value upside, at -15%, 092220 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
