What matters now

  • Solid quality (58/100) at a price below fair value, the discount is the argument here, not the business quality.
  • A fairly wide model range (117,482 KRW to 254,716 KRW) leaves room in how you read the outcome.

Analysis

Kia Corp (000270) currently trades at 126,500 KRW, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is 191,278 KRW, implying the stock looks roughly 33.9% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 58/100 (solid quality), in the Consumer Cyclical sector. Bull case: the DCF Models group reads highest at a median of 350,795 KRW per share, and 23 of the 24 models we run sit above the 126,500 KRW price. Bear case: the Asset-Based group reads lowest at 105,481 KRW, and 1 of the 24 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is medium.

Over the trailing twelve months, Kia Corp generated revenue of 116T KRW at a net margin of 6.1%. Revenue grew 5.3% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 11.9%. Net debt stands at 6.0B KRW. Fundamentals as of Aug 27, 2026

Our scenario range runs from 117,482 KRW (bear case) to 254,716 KRW (bull case); at 126,500 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 38% below its 52-week high and 41% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Consumer Cyclical peers we cover trades at −17% fair-value upside, at 51%, 000270 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.

Model Bear Bear = the cautious scenario: the same model computed with conservative anchors (lower growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bull it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target.BaseBull Bull = the optimistic scenario: the same model computed with favourable anchors (higher growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bear it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target. Evidence

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.
