What the Analysts think about KB

Analyst projections of the future price of KB Financial Group stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
First-half net profit rose 13.1% to a record KRW 3.88 trillion, with non-bank units contributing 44% of earnings and securities alone 21. That broader earnings mix makes KB less reliant on its core bank. (CHOSUNBIZ)
KB expects to return about KRW 3.7 trillion to shareholders in 2026, including a KRW 700 billion share buyback and cancellation and quarterly dividends. Its 13.74% CET1 ratio provides a capital base for these payouts. (KB Financial Group)
The bank’s second-quarter net interest margin fell 3 basis points to 1.74%, while first-half net interest income grew only 1.7% year on year. Higher funding costs and loan competition are weighing on the core banking engine. (Stock Analysis)
A large part of the fee-income surge came from securities brokerage during favourable stock-market conditions. If markets cool, this contribution to recent earnings growth could fade. (The Korea Herald, Stock Analysis)
KB Kookmin Bank held KRW 2.22 trillion of home-backed loans with loan-to-value ratios of at least 80% at June-end, leaving greater recovery risk if property prices fall. Planned tighter mortgage capital rules could also constrain lending or absorb more capital. (Seoul Economic Daily, MoneyToday)
