From 6 valuation models · updated 14 days ago
Share price +2.5% over the past month.
A solid business, screening 39% undervalued on our models.
What matters now
- The price is below even our cautious bear case ($110.03). The market is more pessimistic than our downside scenario.
- Solid quality (65/100) at a price below fair value, the discount is the argument here, not the business quality.
- 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
60‑month range $39.61 – $109.42 · fair‑value band $110.03 – $183.38 · the $105.76 price screens below the $146.70 fair value. Green steps = our fair value per fiscal year (point-in-time, no hindsight). Dashed = 300-day average. As of Jul 27, 2026.
Analysis
Preferred Bank (PFBC) currently trades at $105.76, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $146.70, implying the stock looks roughly 38.7% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 65/100 (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, Preferred Bank generated revenue of $283M at a net margin of 47.6%. Revenue grew 3.3% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 17.4%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of $423M. Fundamentals as of Jul 27, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $110.03 (bear case) to $183.38 (bull case); at $105.76, the current price sits below 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 31% 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 39%, PFBC 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 ($93.33) versus Dividend Discount ($41.31). Highest evidence: Residual Income (76).
