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 13.6x Exit PE.
In-depth Analysis How we analyze
Valuation Analysis: FITB is currently trading at $50.22, which is considered slightly high relative to its 30-day fair value range of $47.92 to $50.49. From a valuation perspective, the stock is trading at a discount (Forward PE: 10.3) compared to its historical average (13.6). Remarkably, the market is currently pricing in an annual earnings decline of 9.0% over the next few years. This pessimistic expectation contrasts with the company's recent 20.8% earnings growth, suggesting potential undervaluation if the company simply maintains stability.
Technical Outlook: Technically, FITB is in a strong uptrend. Immediate support is located at $48.24, while resistance sits at $53.33.
Market Sentiment: The stock shows a mixed technical setup (55/100), with neutral trendline and momentum signals. Wall Street analysts see significant upside, with an average price target of $56.76 (+14.0%). Combining these factors, the current setup offers a favorable risk/reward ratio for buyers.
