Analysis

Bridgewater Bancshares, Inc (BWB) currently trades at $21.64, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $21.49, implying the stock looks roughly 0.7% fairly valued today. The Quality Score stands at 50/100 (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, Bridgewater Bancshares, Inc generated revenue of $152M at a net margin of 35.5%. Revenue grew 46.2% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 10.8%. Net debt stands at $385M. Fundamentals as of Jul 26, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $16.12 (bear case) to $26.86 (bull case); at $21.64, 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 near its 52-week high and 45% 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 -1%, BWB 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.
