INTRINSIC VALUE TODAY
$188.68
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 10.7x Exit PE.
In-depth Analysis How we analyze
Valuation Analysis: MTB is currently trading at $221.66, which is considered fair relative to its 30-day fair value range of $215.89 to $224.77. The stock's valuation (Forward PE: 10.5) is in line with its historical norms (10.7). Remarkably, the market is currently pricing in an annual earnings decline of 0.6% over the next few years. This pessimistic expectation contrasts with the company's recent 4.6% earnings growth, suggesting potential undervaluation if the company simply maintains stability.
Technical Outlook: Technically, MTB is in a downtrend. The price is approaching resistance at $223.46. A breakout above this level would be a bullish signal, while rejection here could lead to consolidation.
Market Sentiment: MTB scores 70/100 on our bottoming-setup gauge — the chart has corrected and is stabilizing (RSI reset, momentum turning up), historically a favorable entry zone. In the options market, Implied Volatility is low (0th percentile), suggesting options premiums are relatively cheap. This makes it an attractive time for long options strategies if you have a directional bias. Wall Street analysts see significant upside, with an average price target of $248.32 (+12.0%). Combining these factors, the current setup offers a favorable risk/reward ratio for buyers.
