2.16 / 10
Underperform
KN's fundamental score is 2.2/10, reflecting weak profitability and valuation challenges. Key red flags include a PB-ROE reading of 0.8317 (Group 3, score 1/3) and low net profit margin of 5.3828 (Group 2, score 1). Although Asset-MV and Profit-MV show some relative strength, their negative values (-0.5007 and -0.6546) suggest underperformance versus peers. Historical back-tests reveal modest returns (e.g., 15.32% for Asset-MV at 70.4% confidence), but the overall pattern underscores constrained fundamental quality and limited upside potential.
