Financial Services · IN · Market cap ₹99.6B
Fair value as of: Aug 13, 2026
From 6 valuation models · updated 4 days ago
Fair value updated Aug 13, 2026, revised from ₹450.57 to ₹451.14 (+0.1%) since Aug 8, 2026. Share price +12.2% over the past month.
Below-average quality, screening 47% undervalued on our models.
What matters now
- The large discount to fair value meets weak quality (39/100). That raises the risk this is a value trap rather than a bargain.
- The price is below even our cautious bear case (₹338.35). 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
The Karnataka Bank Limited (KTKBANK) currently trades at ₹306.50, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is ₹451.14, implying the stock looks roughly 47.2% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 39/100 (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, The Karnataka Bank Limited generated revenue of ₹32.1B at a net margin of 40.9%. Revenue declined 1.7% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 10.4%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of ₹24.1B. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026
Our scenario range runs from ₹338.35 (bear case) to ₹563.92 (bull case); at ₹306.50, 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 near its 52-week high and 86% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Financial Services peers we cover trades at 47% fair-value upside, at 47%, KTKBANK 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.
All 6 models by family
Widest divergence: Multiples (₹450.57) versus Dividend Discount (₹80.46). Highest evidence: Residual Income (76).
