Repriced or dip?

Business numbers as reported at the high (12 months to Mar 31, 2026) vs the latest filing (12 months to Jun 30, 2026). Each measure is scored from −1 (business changed) to +1 (business intact) and weighted: revenue, earnings per share, free cash flow, operating margin, revenue growth rate, share count, net cash and the move vs its sector. 60 or more reads as a dip, 40 or less as a repricing.

Data-based read, not advice.
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 20.0×; 52-wk low: P/E 11.2×; now: P/E 17.4×.
| High | Low | Now | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price | $47.08Jul 16 | $35.59Nov 17 | $38.06 |
| P/E | 20.0× | 11.2× | 17.4× |
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 7.8% ±2 points. Bear = 10.5% and 5.8%; bull = 8.5% and 9.8%. 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, NBHC would need a return on equity of about 9% a year; our estimate uses 8%.
Risk vs market
How risk vs market is measured
One year of daily returns (Oct 31 to Nov 2, 252 sessions). Beta = how much NBHC 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 1.7× the S&P 500’s (it moves on its own news).

Valuation details
DCF $32.49
Financials model (residual income): book value $38.58 a share on Jun 30, 2026, plus the earnings above a 9.5% cost of equity. ROE 7.8%, the average of 6.2% for the trailing 12 months to Jun 30, 2026 and 9.3% over fiscal 2021–2025, on average common equity; payout 76% of earnings (dividends 54% + net buybacks 22%), 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 5, 2026.
