Kookmin Bank (ADR) (KB)

CAPS Rating:
****

The Company provides credit and related financial services to individuals and small and medium-sized enterprises. On the deposit side, it provides deposit products and related services to both individuals and enterprises of all sizes.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other members to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

This is an OK company trading at a ridiculously low price (below book value as of Friday'sclose). Current price makes sense only if the company is in imminent risk of collapse; but while there is some reason for pessimism, there doesn't seem to be any justification for *this* level of pessimism.

The importance of this company in Korea would be difficult to overestimate. It is difficult to imagine any government simply allowing KB to collapse. This is not to say that it's "too big to fail," but it is unlikely that failure would occur unless accompanied by a general collapse of the Korean financial sector -- which does not appear, currently, to be on the horizon.

Beat this Stock

Clicking "Beat this Stock!" will bring you to a company with a higher rating than the one you're currently viewing.

Even though CAPS shows only one- to five-star rankings, behind the scenes, all companies in CAPS have a distinct numerical ranking. In other words, there is a No. 1 stock in CAPS and a worst-ranked stock in CAPS. When you arrive at the top-ranked stock, clicking "Beat this Stock!" will cause the page to refresh.

That is, until there is a new No. 1 stock!
