Myungin Pharmaceutical IPO Valuation Analysis

By Douglas Kim

  • Our base case valuation of Myungin Pharm is target price of 80,349 won per share, which is 39% higher than the high end of the IPO price range. 
  • Given solid upside, we have a Positive View of Myungin Pharm. Our target price is based on EV/EBITDA of 6.4x using our estimated EBITDA of 110.4 billion won in 2025.  
  • We believe Myungin Pharm should deserve a premium valuation multiple than its peers mainly due to higher sales growth, operating margin, and ROE but lower debt ratio.
