What matters now

  • The price sits above even our optimistic bull case (239,117 KRW). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
  • Solid but not exceptional quality (52/100) 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

Samsung Life (032830) currently trades at 297,500 KRW, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is 191,293 KRW, implying the stock looks roughly 55.5% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 52/100 (solid quality), in the Financial Services sector. Bull case: the Economic Profit group reads highest at a median of 260,257 KRW per share, and 0 of the 6 models we run sit above the 297,500 KRW price. Bear case: the Dividend Discount group reads lowest at 55,793 KRW, and 6 of the 6 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is medium.

Over the trailing twelve months, Samsung Life generated revenue of 20.0T KRW at a net margin of 11.5%. Revenue grew 29.4% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 4.8%. Net debt stands at 17.1T KRW. Fundamentals as of Aug 18, 2026

Our scenario range runs from 143,470 KRW (bear case) to 239,117 KRW (bull case); at 297,500 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 39% below its 52-week high and 170% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Financial Services peers we cover trades at −29% fair-value upside, at −36%, 032830 screens richer than that median.

Fair Value models

Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted, family-balanced 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. Every input is real reported data, nothing guessed.

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

Non-valuation factor families (profitability, growth, cashflow, financial strength, momentum …), each academically grounded. Valuation itself sits in the Fair Value and is deliberately excluded here to avoid double-counting.

All values are scores from 0 to 100 (100 = best against fixed, research-based bands), not percentages. The three market factors (momentum, 52-week proximity, low volatility) are displayed but carry zero weight in the headline number: market sentiment is not a business property.
