What matters now
- The large discount to fair value meets weak quality (31/100). That raises the risk this is a value trap rather than a bargain.
- The price is below even our cautious bear case (359,727 KRW). The market is more pessimistic than our downside scenario.
- A fairly wide model range (359,727 KRW to 815,783 KRW) leaves room in how you read the outcome.

How to read this chart
60‑month range 181,235 KRW – 902,345 KRW · fair‑value band 359,727 KRW – 815,783 KRW · the 282,000 KRW price screens below the 587,755 KRW fair value. Green steps = our fair value per fiscal year (point-in-time, no hindsight). Dashed = 300-day average. As of Aug 26, 2026.
Analysis
LG Chemicals (051910) currently trades at 282,000 KRW, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is 587,755 KRW, implying the stock looks roughly 52.0% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 31/100 (below-average quality), in the Basic Materials sector. Bull case: the Asset-Based group reads highest at a median of 311,741 KRW per share, and 2 of the 6 models we run sit above the 282,000 KRW price. Bear case: the Multiples group reads lowest at 74,365 KRW, and 4 of the 6 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is medium.
Over the trailing twelve months, LG Chemicals generated revenue of 45.6T KRW at a net margin of −4.5%. Revenue declined 2.6% year over year. It earns a return on equity of −5.9%. Net debt stands at 22.9T KRW. Fundamentals as of Aug 26, 2026
Our scenario range runs from 359,727 KRW (bear case) to 815,783 KRW (bull case); at 282,000 KRW, the current price sits below 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 36% below its 52-week high and 43% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Basic Materials peers we cover trades at −48% fair-value upside, at 108%, 051910 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 6 models by family
Widest divergence: Asset-Based (311,741 KRW) versus Dividend Discount (53,309 KRW). Highest evidence: EV/EBITDA (67).

Quality Score breakdown
Of which business quality 32 · Market factors (momentum, volatility) 19
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.
