Plain-Language Summary

Our base-case estimate uses P/Tangible Book × ROE Quality. We then blend that result with the average analyst price target of $272.40 from 29 analysts, using a 25% weight on analyst consensus. That produces an estimated intrinsic value of $121.03 per share.

Warnings

⚠ Traditional cash flow models don't work well for banks — lending activity distorts how much cash the business actually generates.

⚠ Common valuation shortcuts don't apply here — for banks, interest payments are a core business cost, not overhead.

⚠ Return on equity (6.4%) is below the minimum investors require (7.1%). This means the bank is worth less than the net assets on its books.

ℹ Dividend-based valuation: $413.67 (486% above our primary estimate). Large gaps suggest the dividend may not fully reflect the company's value.

ℹ Wall Street's average price target is $272.40 (from 29 analysts). Our estimate is 74% below the consensus -- consider that gap carefully.

Key Risks

Book value quality matters as much as level — check loan loss reserves
Interest rate sensitivity creates non-linear earnings surprises
Insurance reserving is actuarial, not financial — errors emerge slowly
