INTRINSIC VALUE TODAY
$39.96
Trading above historical range
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 9.4x Exit PE.
In-depth Analysis How we analyze
Valuation Analysis: MBWM is currently trading at $61.22, which is considered extended relative to its 30-day fair value range of $58.39 to $60.99. From a valuation perspective, the stock is trading at a premium (Forward PE: 10.4) compared to its historical average (9.4). At these levels, the market is pricing in 3.6% annual earnings growth.
Technical Outlook: Technically, MBWM is in a uptrend. The price is currently testing key support at $59.67. A bounce from this level would confirm strength, while a break below could signal further downside.
Market Sentiment: The stock scores a mixed 53/100 on our bottoming-setup gauge, with only partial signs of a stabilized entry point. Current signals suggest waiting for a better entry point before initiating new positions.
