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 11.0×; now: P/E 9.7×.
| High | Now | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $63.91Aug 14 | $56.38 |
| P/E | 11.0× | 9.7× |
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 17.2% ±2 points. Bear = 10.5% and 15.2%; bull = 8.5% and 19.2%. 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, NTB would need a return on equity of about 17% a year; our estimate uses 17%.
Risk vs market
How risk vs market is measured
One year of daily returns (Oct 31 to Nov 2, 252 sessions). Beta = how much NTB 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 1.5× the S&P 500’s (it moves on its own news).

Valuation details
DCF $57.31
Financials model (residual income): book value $33.69 a share on Dec 31, 2025, plus the earnings above a 9.5% cost of equity.
