What matters now
- The large discount to fair value meets weak quality (33/100). That raises the risk this is a value trap rather than a bargain.
- The large gap to fair value rests on thin data (low evidence): fewer applicable models and a shorter history. Read it with extra caution.

How to read this chart
60‑month range $33.38 – $122.70 · fair‑value band $62.33 – $103.88 · the $63.13 price screens below the $83.11 fair value. Green steps = our fair value per fiscal year (point-in-time, no hindsight). Dashed = 300-day average. As of Aug 13, 2026.
Analysis
POSCO Holdings Inc (PKX) currently trades at $63.13, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $83.11, implying the stock looks roughly 24.0% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 33/100 (below-average quality), in the Basic Materials sector. Bull case: the Asset-Based group reads highest at a median of $265.76 per share, and 10 of the 12 models we run sit above the $63.13 price. Bear case: the Earnings-Based group reads lowest at $32.80, and 2 of the 12 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is low.
Over the trailing twelve months, POSCO Holdings Inc generated revenue of $69.5T at a net margin of 1.2%. Revenue grew 2.5% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 1.1%. Net debt stands at $21.5T. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $62.33 (bear case) to $103.88 (bull case); at $63.13, 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 31% below its 52-week high and 42% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Basic Materials peers we cover trades at −29% fair-value upside, at 32%, PKX screens cheaper than that median.
Fair Value models
Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted, family-balanced 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. Every input is real reported data, nothing guessed.
All 12 models by family
Widest divergence: Asset-Based ($265.76) versus Earnings-Based ($32.80). Highest evidence: EPV (71).

Quality Score breakdown
Of which business quality 35 · Market factors (momentum, volatility) 41
Non-valuation factor families (profitability, growth, cashflow, financial strength, momentum …), each academically grounded. Valuation itself sits in the Fair Value and is deliberately excluded here to avoid double-counting.
All values are scores from 0 to 100 (100 = best against fixed, research-based bands), not percentages. The three market factors (momentum, 52-week proximity, low volatility) are displayed but carry zero weight in the headline number: market sentiment is not a business property.
