Valuation model · P/B vs ROE (excess return)
Banks, insurers and brokers don't suit a cash flow model (borrowing and lending is their business), so we value them on book value and return on equity: P/B vs ROE.
Fair value per share
With these assumptions the model gives no positive value.

Business
- 0.6%
Yearly profit as a share of shareholders' equity.
Default: average return on equity of the last 3 annual reports.
- 2%
How fast book value and profits grow over the long run.
Default: close to the economy's long-run growth.
Discount rate
- 4.08%
Yield on Korea's 10-year government bond: the return with almost no risk.
Default: Korea Treasury Bond 10-year yield on 2026-10-29.
- 1
How much the share moves when the market moves: 1 means just like the market.
Default: 1.0. Measured beta is 0.75, but against a KOSPI dominated by chipmakers that understates a bank's or insurer's risk, so we use at least the market's.
- 5.5%
The extra return investors want for owning shares instead of bonds.
Default: a typical premium for Korean shares.
