7.78 / 10
Outperform
KNF's fundamental score of 7.8/10 reflects healthy financials, driven by strong Profit-MV, Cash-MV, and Asset-MV factors. However, elevated PB-ROE and sub-par ROE levels temper enthusiasm. Historical back-tests show moderate one-month returns (e.g., 9.22% for Profit-MV group 2) with varying confidence, indicating potential upside but with inherent risk. Overall, the company's balance sheet strength and profitability support an Outperform stance, yet valuation concerns prevent a higher rating.
