Analysis
Daejung Chemicals & Metals Co (120240) currently trades at 14,630 KRW, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is 20,225 KRW, implying the stock looks roughly 38.2% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 67/100 (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, Daejung Chemicals & Metals Co generated revenue of 97.7B KRW at a net margin of 15.2%. Revenue grew 17.7% year over year. Fundamentals as of Jul 20, 2026
Our scenario range runs from 15,853 KRW (bear case) to 24,445 KRW (bull case); at 14,630 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 1% 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 -46% fair-value upside, at 38%, 120240 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 24 models by family
Widest divergence: Growth Earnings (29,586 KRW) versus Earnings-Based (12,785 KRW). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
