Valuation
Valuation signal
Fairly valuedIn our model the price counts as cheap below $36.47 and expensive above $54.70 (uncertainty low, based on the price swings of the past year).
The two parts of the fair value come to $40.72 (excess return model) and $46.80 (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 8.8%. At 9.8% the fair value would be $40.37, at 7.8% it would be $48.85.
Valuation metrics
Half from the excess return model, half from earnings times the industry P/E (12.4).

In fiscal 2025: operating 11%, net 9%. Banks and insurers have no gross margin, and their net margin is not comparable with other industries. The score leaves both out.
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.
