EQB (EQ Bank) stock is down around 7% after earnings. A quick DCF calculation resulted in a $117 per share fair value estimation with a potential future return of 16.87% over the next 5 years. DCF calculation assumptions are listed below:
- 12% Year over year (YoY) EPS growth
- Conservative future PE ratio of 10, lower than other Canadian bank peers such as CIBC (ticker CM) and Royal Bank of Canada (ticker RY)
- Discount rate of 10%
In addition to the above valuation, all key metrics I care about are moving in the right direction, I've listed the metrics I consider most important below:
- Revenue up 27% YoY (>10% preferred)
- EPS up 12% YoY (>10% required)
- Book value per share up 14% YoY (>10% preferred)
- Minimal share based compensation, less than 1% of net income
- ROE of 15% (> 14% required)
- Conservatively capitalized: CET1 ratio of 14.2% (>10% required)
- Dividends up 20% YoY
- Decumulation loan assets grow by 55% YoY to 1.6 Billion, an amazing growth engine for the company that I like
In conclusion, I believe the company is undervalued, but considering EQB is already an overweight position in my portfolio, I will not actively add more to the position unless the stock price drops further. I will continue passively investing into the company through monthly
