🎯 Q1 FY26 | Rev $1B | EPS $1.25 vs $1.36 🔴
💡 Consensus expects continued earnings pressure; we view the miss as one-off and see troughing NIM with resilient loan growth. The stock's sell-off fails to price in a normalization of net interest income and benign credit.
📉 Reward/Risk: 2.0:1
🏢 Business Quality: 7/10 - Well-managed regional bank with diversified commercial lending and strong deposit franchise, though sensitive to rate cycles and commercial real estate risk.
📊 Valuation: fair - P/E 13–15x on normalized EPS of $5.50–$6.00, in line with 5-year average and peer median. P/TBV ~1.0x supports downside protection.
