Fair value as of: Jul 24, 2026

From 2 valuation models · updated 17 days ago

Fair value updated Jul 24, 2026, revised from 18,560 KRW to 18,260 KRW (−1.6%) since Jun 26, 2026. Share price −3.1% over the past month.

Below-average quality, screening 98% undervalued on our models.

What matters now

  • The large discount to fair value meets weak quality (40/100). That raises the risk this is a value trap rather than a bargain.
  • The price is below even our cautious bear case (13,695 KRW). The market is more pessimistic than our downside scenario.
  • For a financial, book-value and earnings-based methods matter more than a cash-flow DCF, which fits banks and insurers poorly.

Analysis

DB Securities Co (016610) currently trades at 9,240 KRW, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is 18,260 KRW, implying the stock looks roughly 97.6% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 40/100 (below-average quality), in the Financial Services sector. Bull case: trading below our estimate, it may offer upside if the fundamentals hold. Bear case: a low price can be a value trap when quality is weak or the data is thin (evidence: high), always confirm before acting.

Over the trailing twelve months, DB Securities Co generated revenue of 2.2T KRW at a net margin of 4.0%. Revenue grew 168.1% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 8.6%. Net debt stands at 100B KRW. Fundamentals as of Jul 24, 2026

Our scenario range runs from 13,695 KRW (bear case) to 22,825 KRW (bull case); at 9,240 KRW, the current price sits below 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 50% below its 52-week high and 23% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Financial Services peers we cover trades at 11% fair-value upside, at 98%, 016610 screens cheaper than that median.

Fair Value models

Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted 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.

Model Bear Bear = the cautious scenario: the same model computed with conservative anchors (lower growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bull it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target.BaseBull Bull = the optimistic scenario: the same model computed with favourable anchors (higher growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bear it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target. Evidence
