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 (12.3%) is below the minimum investors require (12.8%). This means the bank is worth less than the net assets on its books.

ℹ Wall Street's average price target is $147.75 (from 22 analysts). Our estimate is 64% 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
