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 $10.50 from 5 analysts, using a 20% weight on analyst consensus. That produces an estimated intrinsic value of $7.64 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 (4.1%) is below the minimum investors require (7.7%). This means the bank is worth less than the net assets on its books.
Wall Street's average price target is $10.50 (from 5 analysts). Our estimate is 34% 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
