Woori Financial Group  (NYSE:WF) PB Ratio Explanation

Unlike valuation ratios relative to the earning power such as PE Ratio, PE Ratio without NRI, PS Ratio, Price-to-Operating-Cash-Flow , or Price-to-Free-Cash-Flow, the PB Ratio measures the valuation of the stock relative to the underlying asset of the company.

The PB Ratio works the best for the businesses that earn most of their profit from their assets, e.g. banks and insurance companies.


Be Aware

Some businesses have very light assets, such as software companies or insurance agencies. The PB Ratio does not work well for these companies. Some companies even have negative equity, so the PB Ratio cannot be applied to them.

Address
51, Sogong-ro, Jung-gu, Seoul, KOR, 04632
Woori is one of Korea's four largest commercial banking groups. It was formed in 2001 through the merger of several financially troubled banks affected by the Asian financial crisis and became temporarily 100% government-owned after a bailout. It had been the largest banking group by assets but is now number four after the government required the sale of a number of subsidiaries in 2014 in an effort to recoup taxpayer money. The government has completed the process of fully divesting itself of Woori, with Korea Deposit Insurance selling its final 1.2% stake in late 2023.
