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

60‑month range $29.03 – $79.12 · fair‑value band $60.34 – $100.57 · the $78.78 price screens below the $80.46 fair value. Green steps = our fair value per fiscal year (point-in-time, no hindsight). Dashed = 300-day average. As of Jul 19, 2026.
Analysis
Webster Financial Corporation (WBS) currently trades at $78.78, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $80.46, implying the stock looks roughly 2.1% fairly valued today. We read business quality at 69/100 (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, Webster Financial Corporation generated revenue of $2.7B at a net margin of 37.4%. Revenue grew 8.7% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 10.9%. Net debt stands at $1.9B. Fundamentals as of Jul 19, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $60.34 (bear case) to $100.57 (bull case); at $78.78, 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 59% 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 2%, WBS 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 24 models by family
Widest divergence: DCF Models ($137.05) versus Asset-Based ($39.25). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
