What matters now
- The price is below even our cautious bear case (2,496 KRW). The market is more pessimistic than our downside scenario.
- Solid quality (58/100) at a price below fair value, the discount is the argument here, not the business quality.
- For a financial, book-value and earnings-based methods matter more than a cash-flow DCF, which fits banks and insurers poorly.

Analysis
HB Investment, Inc (440290) currently trades at 1,703 KRW, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is 3,328 KRW, implying the stock looks roughly 95.4% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 58/100 (solid quality), in the Financial 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: high), always confirm before acting.
Over the trailing twelve months, HB Investment, Inc generated revenue of 18.1B KRW at a net margin of 36.0%. Revenue grew 34.7% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 7.7%. Fundamentals as of Jul 21, 2026
Our scenario range runs from 2,496 KRW (bear case) to 4,160 KRW (bull case); at 1,703 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 28% below its 52-week high, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Financial Services peers we cover trades at -12% fair-value upside, at 95%, 440290 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 11 models by family
Widest divergence: DCF Models (4,627 KRW) versus Earnings-Based (2,051 KRW). Highest evidence: Residual Income (76).
