Repriced or dip?
Near its high
The price is 4% below its 52-week high (Jul 16), but the business held up: revenue growth rate +3.9 pts, revenue +3.0%.
Some numbers held up (revenue growth rate +3.9 pts, revenue +3.0%), others slipped (shares outstanding more shares, each owns less). The price is 4% below its 52-week high.
The price is 4% below its 52-week high, and the business changed too: shares outstanding more shares, each owns less.
Within 10% of its 52-week high, so there is no dip to judge yet.

Priced in
How much growth the market assumed at the 52-week high, the low and today (a reverse DCF).
52-wk high: P/E 11.9×; 52-wk low: P/E 8.9×; now: P/E 11.9×.
| High | Low | Now | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price | $25.19Jul 16 | $17.03Nov 17 | $24.10 |
| P/E | 11.9× | 8.9× | 11.9× |
What this means: a lower P/E than at the high means you pay less for each dollar of profit than buyers did then.
How it’s computed
Banks, insurers and lenders: cash flow includes deposits and loans, so a cash-flow model doesn't fit; we show P/E at each point instead. P/E = that day's close × diluted shares / 12-month net income, using only the filings that were public on that day.
Valuation
What we estimate it's worth, and how it ranks on value vs every stock we cover.
Fair value estimate
How the range is computed
Financials model (residual income). Same residual-income model as the base: cost of equity 9.5% ±1 point and return on equity 10.5% ±2 points. Bear = 10.5% and 8.5%; bull = 8.5% and 12.5%. A model estimate from public filings, not a forecast of where the price will go.
Price sits inside the range.
What the price implies To be worth today’s price, FULT would need a return on equity of about 11% a year; our estimate uses 10%.
Risk vs market
How risk vs market is measured
One year of daily returns (Oct 31 to Nov 2, 252 sessions). Beta = how much FULT moved for each 1% move in the S&P 500 (SPY); 1.0 moves with the market. Volatility is the yearly standard deviation of daily returns. Past behavior, not a forecast.
Moves much less than the market, but its own price swings are 1.9× the S&P 500’s (it moves on its own news).

Valuation details
DCF $22.15 · MV $23.59
Financials model (residual income): book value $20.09 a share on Jun 30, 2026 (preferred stock excluded), plus the earnings above a 9.5% cost of equity. ROE 10.5%, the average of 10.7% for the trailing 12 months to Jun 30, 2026 and 10.3% over fiscal 2021–2025, on average common equity; payout 57% of earnings (dividends 36% + net buybacks 21%), so book grows by the retained rest; the return above 9.5% fades halfway toward 9.5% over 10 years, then grows at 3% (terminal value). From the 10-Q filed Aug 7, 2026.
