The KMV model can assess and predict credit risk for the listed companies and listed banks. The value of the company's share price is looked as call option prices on the asset value and the debt is looked as put option for creditors on the asset value in the KMV model. We apply the KMV model to assess credit risk quantitatively based on stock prices of the listed company for Chinese commercial banks in this paper. Through analyzing the sample data which we selected from the listed companies we obtained DD (Distance-to-Default) of each company by KMV model. The outcomes show that DD can be used to assess and predict the credit risk from the listed companies quantitatively. So we can manage the credit risk effectively by establishing the risk prediction system based on DD.
