Aekyung Petrochemical Co Ltd (161000) Fair Value & Analysis

Basic Materials · KR · Market cap 418B KRW

Below-average quality, screening 65% undervalued on our models.

What matters now

• The large discount to fair value meets weak quality (43/100). That raises the risk this is a value trap rather than a bargain.
• The price is below even our cautious bear case (11,224 KRW). The market is more pessimistic than our downside scenario.
• The large gap to fair value rests on thin data (low evidence): fewer applicable models and a shorter history. Read it with extra caution.

Analysis

Aekyung Petrochemical Co Ltd (161000) currently trades at 9,110 KRW, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is 15,040 KRW, implying the stock looks roughly 65.1% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 43/100 (below-average 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: low), always confirm before acting.

Over the trailing twelve months, Aekyung Petrochemical Co Ltd generated revenue of 1.5T KRW at a net margin of -0.2%. Revenue grew 0.2% year over year. It earns a return on equity of -0.7%. Net debt stands at 431B KRW. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026

Our scenario range runs from 11,224 KRW (bear case) to 15,040 KRW (bull case); at 9,110 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 54% below its 52-week high and 10% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Basic Materials peers we cover trades at -67% fair-value upside, at 65%, 161000 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.

Widest divergence: Asset-Based (9,908 KRW) versus Multiples (6,566 KRW). Highest evidence: EV/EBITDA (54).

How we calculate Fair Value

Each company is valued through a stack of independent intrinsic-value models (DCF variants, residual-income, multiples and more), blended into one family-balanced consensus and weighted by how much trustworthy data backs it. A separate quality layer scores the fundamentals. Every input is real reported data, nothing guessed.
