Valuation
Valuation signal
Fairly valuedIn our model the price counts as cheap below $8.78 and expensive above $20.48 (uncertainty high, based on the price swings of the past year).
The two parts of the fair value come to $12.94 (excess return model) and $11.63 (industry comparison), and the gap between them shows how uncertain the estimate is. The price is slightly above both parts; given how much the stock swings, that still counts as fair.
Calculated with a cost of equity of 8.3%. At 9.3% the fair value would be $11.21, at 7.3% it would be $13.90.
Valuation metrics
Half from the excess return model, half from earnings times the industry P/E (12.9).

Debt & balance sheet
latest quarterFor banks and insurers, deposits and liabilities are the business. Debt to equity and the current ratio say little here, and the score does not rate them.
