How this is calculated: We use a Growth Decay Model: starting with analyst consensus growth (adjusted above) and gradually slowing it down to a long-term terminal rate (4%) by Year 5. This provides a more realistic valuation than assuming constant hyper-growth. We then apply a 9.8x Exit PE.
In-depth Analysis How we analyze
Valuation Analysis: AMTB is currently trading at $28.69, which is considered fair relative to its 30-day fair value range of $26.88 to $29.89. The stock's valuation (Forward PE: 10.4) is in line with its historical norms (9.8). At these levels, the market is pricing in 2.0% annual earnings growth.
Technical Outlook: Technically, AMTB is in a strong uptrend. The price is currently testing key support at $28.22. A bounce from this level would confirm strength, while a break below could signal further downside.
Market Sentiment: AMTB scores 37/100 on our bottoming-setup gauge. Note this measures entry quality, not trend direction — a low score can mean the chart is extended after a strong run (don't chase) or still falling without stabilization; better entries typically come after a pullback toward the 20-day average. Wall Street analysts see significant upside, with an average price target of $31.88 (+11.1%). The stock is fairly positioned - fine to hold existing positions or accumulate slowly on dips, but not an urgent buy.
