Trading above fair value
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 9.0x Exit PE.
In-depth Analysis How we analyze
Valuation Analysis: PFBC is currently trading at $89.21, which is considered slightly low relative to its 30-day fair value range of $87.00 to $98.16. From a valuation perspective, the stock is trading at a discount (Forward PE: 7.9) compared to its historical average (9.0). Remarkably, the market is currently pricing in an annual earnings decline of 4.2% over the next few years. This pessimistic expectation contrasts with the company's recent 24.0% earnings growth, suggesting potential undervaluation if the company simply maintains stability.
Technical Outlook: Technically, PFBC is showing sideways momentum. Immediate support is located at $81.50, while resistance sits at $98.41.
Market Sentiment: PFBC has a weak technical setup (25/100), with bearish trendlines and momentum suggesting caution for short-term entries. In the options market, Implied Volatility is low (7th percentile), suggesting options premiums are relatively cheap. This makes it an attractive time for long options strategies if you have a directional bias. Wall Street analysts see significant upside, with an average price target of $102.67 (+17.7%). Combining these factors, the current setup offers a favorable risk/reward ratio for buyers.
