Analysis
Sam Yang Foods (003230) currently trades at 1,417,000 KRW, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is 1,010,543 KRW, implying the stock looks roughly 40.2% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 60/100 (solid quality), in the Consumer Defensive sector. Bull case: the Growth Earnings group reads highest at a median of 1,220,739 KRW per share, and 1 of the 16 models we run sit above the 1,417,000 KRW price. Bear case: the Asset-Based group reads lowest at 112,777 KRW, and 15 of the 16 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is medium.
Over the trailing twelve months, Sam Yang Foods generated revenue of 2.5T KRW at a net margin of 17.1%. Revenue grew 35.0% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 37.4%. Net debt stands at 106B KRW. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026
Our scenario range runs from 754,340 KRW (bear case) to 1,266,747 KRW (bull case); at 1,417,000 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 near its 52-week high and 44% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Consumer Defensive peers we cover trades at −27% fair-value upside, at −29%, 003230 screens richer 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 16 models by family
Widest divergence: Growth Earnings (1,220,739 KRW) versus Dividend Discount (68,810 KRW). Highest evidence: EPV (74).

Quality Score breakdown
Of which business quality 59 · Market factors (momentum, volatility) 48
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.
