Fair value updated Jul 18, 2026, revised from $50.50 to $51.16 (+1.3%) since Jun 26, 2026. Share price +2.6% over the past month.

A solid business, but screening 13% overvalued on our models.

What matters now

  • Solid but not exceptional quality (57/100) and above fair value, neither a clear bargain nor a standout compounder.
  • For a financial, book-value and earnings-based methods matter more than a cash-flow DCF, which fits banks and insurers poorly.

Analysis

Commerce Bancshares, Inc (CBSH) currently trades at $59.08, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $51.16, implying the stock looks roughly 13.4% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 57/100 (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, Commerce Bancshares, Inc generated revenue of $1.8B at a net margin of 32.3%. Revenue grew 17.3% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 14.9%. Net debt stands at $2.2B. Fundamentals as of Jul 18, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $38.37 (bear case) to $63.95 (bull case); at $59.08, 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 5% below its 52-week high and 26% 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 -13%, CBSH 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.
