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 $25.00 from 7 analysts, using a 20% weight on analyst consensus. That produces an estimated intrinsic value of $16.65 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 (5.7%) is below the minimum investors require (9.1%). This means the bank is worth less than the net assets on its books.
Wall Street's average price target is $25.00 (from 7 analysts). Our estimate is 42% 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
