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 11.9% ±2 points. Bear = 10.5% and 9.9%; bull = 8.5% and 13.9%. 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, ZION would need a return on equity of about 10% a year; our estimate uses 12%.
Risk vs market
How risk vs market is measured
One year of daily returns (Oct 30 to Oct 30, 252 sessions). Beta = how much ZION 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 a bit 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 $85.18 · MV $65.59
Financials model (residual income): book value $64.97 a share on Jun 30, 2026 (preferred stock excluded), plus the earnings above a 9.5% cost of equity. ROE 11.9%, the average of 12.8% for the trailing 12 months to Jun 30, 2026 and 11.0% over fiscal 2021–2025, on average common equity; payout 33% of earnings (dividends 23% + net buybacks 10%), 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 6, 2026.
