Analysis
HBL Corporation (452190) currently trades at 3,850 KRW, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is 1,732 KRW, implying the stock looks roughly 55.0% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 47/100 (below-average quality), in the Industrials 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: medium).
Over the trailing twelve months, HBL Corporation generated revenue of 29.8B KRW at a net margin of 13.4%. It earns a return on equity of 13.8%. Net debt stands at 2.5B KRW. Fundamentals as of Jul 22, 2026
Our scenario range runs from 1,216 KRW (bear case) to 2,164 KRW (bull case); at 3,850 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 64% below its 52-week high and 8% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Industrials peers we cover trades at -48% fair-value upside, at -55%, 452190 screens richer 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 14 models by family
Widest divergence: Growth Earnings (1,737 KRW) versus Economic Profit (628.28 KRW). Highest evidence: Residual Income (76).
