KakaoBank Corp (323410) Fair Value & Analysis
Financial Services · KR · Market cap 10.9T KRW
Fair value as of: Jul 11, 2026
From 6 valuation models · updated 29 days ago
A solid business, but screening 40% overvalued on our models.
What matters now
- The price sits above even our optimistic bull case (16,380 KRW). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
- Solid but not exceptional quality (61/100) and above fair value, neither a clear bargain nor a standout compounder.
- For a financial, book-value and earnings-based methods matter more than a cash-flow DCF, which fits banks and insurers poorly.

Analysis
KakaoBank Corp (323410) currently trades at 22,000 KRW, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is 13,104 KRW, implying the stock looks roughly 40.4% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 61/100 (solid quality), in the Financial Services sector. Bear case: priced above our estimate, the market already discounts strong expectations. Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: high).
Over the trailing twelve months, KakaoBank Corp generated revenue of 1.8T KRW at a net margin of 30.0%. Revenue grew 24.4% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 8.1%. Fundamentals as of Jul 11, 2026
Our scenario range runs from 9,828 KRW (bear case) to 16,380 KRW (bull case); at 22,000 KRW, the current price sits above 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 42% below its 52-week high and 7% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Financial Services peers we cover trades at 42% fair-value upside, at -40%, 323410 screens richer 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.
All 6 models by family
Widest divergence: Multiples (13,104 KRW) versus Dividend Discount (6,192 KRW). Highest evidence: Residual Income (76).
