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 9.4x Exit PE.
In-depth Analysis How we analyze
Valuation Analysis: AMTB is currently trading at $25.37, which is considered extended relative to its 30-day fair value range of $22.48 to $24.81.

This growth rate appears achievable given the company's track record, suggesting the valuation is rational.
