A solid business, but screening 36% overvalued on our models.

What matters now

  • The model range is unusually wide (84,910 KRW to 232,835 KRW). The outcome hinges heavily on assumptions, so read the point estimate with caution.
  • Solid but not exceptional quality (63/100) and above fair value, neither a clear bargain nor a standout compounder.

Analysis

KT&G Corporation (033780) currently trades at 173,800 KRW, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is 110,656 KRW, implying the stock looks roughly 36.3% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 63/100 (solid quality), in the Consumer Defensive 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: high).

Over the trailing twelve months, KT&G Corporation generated revenue of 6.8T KRW at a net margin of 17.9%. Revenue grew 14.3% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 13.2%. Net debt stands at 872B KRW. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026

Our scenario range runs from 84,910 KRW (bear case) to 232,835 KRW (bull case); at 173,800 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 9% below its 52-week high and 51% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Consumer Defensive peers we cover trades at 6% fair-value upside, at -36%, 033780 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.

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
