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.

Business

  • 10.2%

    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 0.6, 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.
