SMFG · US
Fair value as of: Jul 18, 2026
From 25 valuation models · updated 20 days ago
Share price +1.7% over the past month.
A solid business, but screening 30% overvalued on our models.
What matters now
- The price sits above even our optimistic bull case ($22.63). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
- Solid but not exceptional quality (59/100) 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
Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group (SMFG) currently trades at $25.73, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $18.10, implying the stock looks roughly 29.7% overvalued today. We read business quality at 59/100 (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, Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group generated revenue of $6.1T at a net margin of 26.1%. Revenue grew 21.8% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 9.8%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of $15.4T. Fundamentals as of Jul 18, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $13.57 (bear case) to $22.63 (bull case); at $25.73, 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 near its 52-week high and 85% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Financial Services peers we cover trades at 16% fair-value upside, at -30%, SMFG 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 25 models by family
Widest divergence: Growth DCF ($122.46) versus Dividend Discount ($5.85). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
