What matters now

  • The price sits close to our fair value, market and models broadly agree here, little valuation tension.
  • The price sits in the lower half of our model range, the side with the larger margin of safety.
  • Read the verdict with care: some models are missing inputs, so the estimate scatters more than usual.

Analysis

Naver Corporation (035420) currently trades at 213,500 KRW, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is 231,585 KRW, implying the stock looks roughly 7.8% fairly valued today. The Quality Score stands at 64/100 (solid quality), in the Communication Services sector. Bull case: the DCF Models group reads highest at a median of 359,377 KRW per share, and 18 of the 26 models we run sit above the 213,500 KRW price. Bear case: the Asset-Based group reads lowest at 123,546 KRW, and 8 of the 26 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is medium.

Over the trailing twelve months, Naver Corporation generated revenue of 12.5T KRW at a net margin of 14.5%. Revenue grew 16.3% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 5.7%. Net debt stands at 690B KRW. Fundamentals as of Sep 5, 2026

Our scenario range runs from 172,536 KRW (bear case) to 290,634 KRW (bull case); at 213,500 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 30% below its 52-week high and 12% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Communication Services peers we cover trades at −38% fair-value upside, at 8%, 035420 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.
