What matters now
- The price sits above even our optimistic bull case (277,157 KRW). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
- Weak quality (44/100) and above fair value at the same time, the margin of safety is missing on both counts.
- A fairly wide model range (152,862 KRW to 277,157 KRW) leaves room in how you read the outcome.
Price vs Fair Value (5 years)
White line = price, green steps = our fair value per fiscal year, dashed = 300-day average. As of Aug 13, 2026.
How to read this chart
60‑month range 36,209 KRW – 1,020,000 KRW · fair‑value band 152,862 KRW – 277,157 KRW · the 652,000 KRW price screens above the 215,009 KRW fair value. Green steps = our fair value per fiscal year (point-in-time, no hindsight). 1 fiscal year is left out: there the valuation rested on only a fraction of the usual models. Dashed = 300-day average. As of Aug 13, 2026.
Analysis
LIG Nex1 Co Ltd (079550) currently trades at 652,000 KRW, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is 215,009 KRW, implying the stock looks roughly 203.2% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 44/100 (below-average quality), in the Industrials sector. Bull case: the Growth Earnings group reads highest at a median of 263,111 KRW per share, and 0 of the 15 models we run sit above the 652,000 KRW price. Bear case: the Asset-Based group reads lowest at 43,862 KRW, and 15 of the 15 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is medium.
Over the trailing twelve months, LIG Nex1 Co Ltd generated revenue of 4.6T KRW at a net margin of 6.8%. Revenue grew 28.7% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 20.7%. Net debt stands at 734B KRW. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026
Our scenario range runs from 152,862 KRW (bear case) to 277,157 KRW (bull case); at 652,000 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 about 35% below its 52-week high and 82% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Industrials peers we cover trades at −44% fair-value upside, at −67%, 079550 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 15 models by family
Widest divergence: Growth Earnings (263,111 KRW) versus Asset-Based (43,862 KRW). Highest evidence: EPV (74).

Quality Score breakdown
Of which business quality 41 · Market factors (momentum, volatility) 50
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.
