EQBK · US
Fair value as of: Jul 16, 2026
From 6 valuation models · updated 24 days ago
Share price +6.6% over the past month.
Below-average quality, and screening another 76% overvalued on our models.
What matters now
- The price sits above even our optimistic bull case ($15.21). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
- Weak quality (33/100) and above fair value at the same time, the margin of safety is missing on both counts.
- For a financial, book-value and earnings-based methods matter more than a cash-flow DCF, which fits banks and insurers poorly.

Analysis
Equity Bancshares, Inc (EQBK) currently trades at $50.94, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $12.16, implying the stock looks roughly 76.1% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 33/100 (below-average 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, Equity Bancshares, Inc generated revenue of $221M at a net margin of 11.2%. Revenue grew 33.7% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 3.4%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of $159M. Fundamentals as of Jul 16, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $9.12 (bear case) to $15.21 (bull case); at $50.94, the current price sits above 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 43% 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 -76%, EQBK 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: Asset-Based ($23.76) versus Dividend Discount ($7.07). Highest evidence: Residual Income (76).
