Spark’s Take on SHG Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, SHG is a Neutral.

Overall score is supported by attractive valuation (low P/E and dividend) and a generally steady technical backdrop. The main offset is fundamental quality: while profitability is solid, TTM revenue weakness and recently negative/volatile cash flows weigh heavily, and the latest earnings call was constructive on capital and shareholder returns but mixed due to profit and credit/asset-quality concerns.
