Analysis

YG Entertainment Inc (122870) currently trades at 41,550 KRW, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is 43,770 KRW, implying the stock looks roughly 5.3% fairly valued today. The Quality Score stands at 76/100 (high quality), in the Communication Services 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, YG Entertainment Inc generated revenue of 592B KRW at a net margin of 6.2%. Revenue grew 46.9% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 8.4%. Fundamentals as of Jul 22, 2026

Our scenario range runs from 32,828 KRW (bear case) to 54,713 KRW (bull case); at 41,550 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 62% below its 52-week high and 7% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Communication Services peers we cover trades at -52% fair-value upside, at 5%, 122870 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.
