Valuation
Valuation signal
Modestly undervaluedClosing price of 11 Nov 2026, used by the daily score.
In our model the price counts as cheap below $114.07 and expensive above $211.84 (uncertainty medium, based on the price swings of the past year).
The two parts of the fair value come to $130.28 (excess return model) and $166.30 (industry comparison), and the gap between them shows how uncertain the estimate is. The price is below both.
Calculated with a cost of equity of 8.3%. At 9.3% the fair value would be $137.43, at 7.3% it would be $164.57.
Valuation metrics
Half from the excess return model, half from earnings times the industry P/E (12.2).

Company outlook mixed
Share price after the results: −2.3%KB Financial expects asset yields to improve and a more balanced balance sheet management, but warns of possible asset quality deterioration, a roughly KRW 500 billion decline in KB Insurance's CSM, a 5 percentage point drop in the K-ICS ratio, and uncertain guidance on next year's fee income …
“In terms of the impact, from the business sector itself, even if we are able to absorb it, for KB Insurance, CSM is going to be expected to decline by around KRW 500 billion, and the K-ICS ratio also by 5%.”The outlook is not part of the score and not a recommendation to buy or sell.
