LG Chem, Ltd (051910) Fair Value & Analysis

Basic Materials · KR · Market cap 20.8T KRW

Below-average quality, screening 113% undervalued on our models.

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.

Analysis

LG Chem, Ltd (051910) currently trades at 275,500 KRW, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is 587,755 KRW, implying the stock looks roughly 113.3% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 31/100 (below-average quality), in the Basic Materials sector. Bull case: trading below our estimate, it may offer upside if the fundamentals hold. Bear case: a low price can be a value trap when quality is weak or the data is thin (evidence: medium), always confirm before acting.

Over the trailing twelve months, LG Chem, Ltd 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 13, 2026

Our scenario range runs from 359,727 KRW (bear case) to 815,783 KRW (bull case); at 275,500 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 37% below its 52-week high and 40% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Basic Materials peers we cover trades at -53% fair-value upside, at 113%, 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 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.

Widest divergence: Asset-Based (311,741 KRW) versus Dividend Discount (53,309 KRW). Highest evidence: Gordon GGM (70).

Frequently asked questions

How we calculate Fair Value

Each company is valued through a stack of independent intrinsic-value models (DCF variants, residual-income, multiples and more), blended into one family-balanced consensus and weighted by how much trustworthy data backs it. A separate quality layer scores the fundamentals. Every input is real reported data, nothing guessed.
