Analysis
Bank of the James Financial Group (BOTJ) currently trades at $27.25, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $25.81, implying the stock looks roughly 5.3% fairly valued today. The Quality Score stands at 56/100 (solid quality), in the Financial Services sector. Bear case: priced above our estimate, the market already discounts strong expectations. Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: high).
Over the trailing twelve months, Bank of the James Financial Group generated revenue of $50.7M at a net margin of 21.6%. Revenue grew 18.2% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 14.6%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of $19.7M. Fundamentals as of Jul 25, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $19.36 (bear case) to $32.27 (bull case); at $27.25, the current price sits within that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades about 8% below its 52-week high and 114% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Financial Services peers we cover trades at 42% fair-value upside, at -5%, BOTJ screens richer than that median.
Fair Value models
Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.
All 6 models by family
Widest divergence: Multiples ($24.67) versus Dividend Discount ($4.43). Highest evidence: Residual Income (76).
