Valuation — what you are paying

- P/E (trailing)23.1xFair
You are paying 23.1 years of current profit for each share. The earnings yield is 4.3%.
- P/B (price to book)1.4xStrong
The market values the company at 1.4× its accounting net worth. High is normal for asset-light businesses and unusual for banks.
