What matters now

- For a financial, book-value and earnings-based methods matter more than a cash-flow DCF, which fits banks and insurers poorly.

How to read this chart

Analysis
Pathward Financial, Inc (CASH) currently trades at $86.85, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $114.46, implying the stock looks roughly 31.8% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 64/100 (solid quality), in the Financial Services sector. Bull case: trading below our estimate, it may offer upside if the fundamentals hold. Bear case: a low price can be a value trap when quality is weak or the data is thin (evidence: high), always confirm before acting.
Over the trailing twelve months, Pathward Financial, Inc generated revenue of $777M at a net margin of 24.3%. Revenue declined 3.7% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 22.8%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of $78.1M. Fundamentals as of Jul 26, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $85.85 (bear case) to $143.08 (bull case); at $86.85, 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 14% below its 52-week high and 32% 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 32%, CASH 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: Economic Profit ($73.24) versus Dividend Discount ($2.84). Highest evidence: Residual Income (76).
