How to read WAFD (bank / insurer)

Banks and insurers are valued on what they earn on their capital, not on free cash flow — a normal DCF misleads here.

Where to start — the sections that matter most for this stock
  1. 1 Bank / Insurance lens (P/TBV + ROE) ↓
    Price-to-tangible-book versus return-on-equity is how analysts actually judge a bank cheap or rich.
  2. 2 Financial-health screens ↓
    Watch the trend in profitability and asset quality, not the (not-applicable) bankruptcy score.
Or — what are you trying to decide?
One rule first: never trade out of fear — and that includes the fear of missing out. A stock up 10% a day for three days is excitement, not data. If you can't point to the evidence behind a trade, you're more likely to lose. So whichever of these you are, check the data below before you act.
🚀
"It's surging — should I chase it?"
The momentum / FOMO trade. Before you chase, see whether the people who know it best are quietly selling into the rally.
⚖️
"Is it worth what it costs?"
The valuation trade. Our DCF, the growth the price implies, and a calculator you drive yourself.
🏷️
"Is it a cheap bargain?"
The deep-value trade. How far below assets and our value it trades — and whether it's cheap for a reason.

ⓘ Why does WAFD trade at $37.94?

WAFD INC has 80.3 million shares outstanding. At $37.94 per share, the market values all outstanding WAFD equity at $3.0 billion. That's market capitalization, not enterprise value — enterprise value also accounts for debt and cash (WAFD carries little or no debt, so the two are close here). The share price by itself tells you almost nothing — a company can pick any share price by splitting or issuing more shares. What matters is the total value (Market Cap?Market Cap — The total dollar value the market is assigning to the entire company.
Why it matters: This is the number that actually matters when comparing companies. Two companies with the same business but different share counts have the same market cap.

Football field: where does the price sit?

Different valuation methods produce different fair-value ranges depending on assumptions. Plotting them together lets you see at a glance whether the current price is reasonable across approaches, or only one specific lens.

Industry multiples sourced from: industry: Banks. See the Peer Basket section below for the peer comparison and its limited-comparables caveat.

How does WAFD stack up against its closest peers?

We take the 8 same-industry companies most similar to WAFD (similar size) and check what investors are paying for each dollar of their revenue (or profits). If WAFD is much more expensive on the same yardstick, that's a red flag — unless you have a specific reason it deserves a premium. For a leveraged business, FCF yield (in the table) is usually more reliable than EV/Sales, because revenue multiples ignore differences in margins and debt.

▾ What's "EV / Sales" in plain English?

EV (Enterprise Value) = market cap + total debt − cash. It's "what you'd pay to buy the entire company outright" — you pay the market cap to shareholders and take over their debt, but you keep their cash. EV is fairer than market cap alone because it includes the debt the new owner inherits.

EV / Sales = EV ÷ annual revenue. So "2.5×" means investors pay $2.50 of enterprise value per $1 of yearly sales. Higher = market is paying more per dollar of sales (usually because they expect future growth or fat margins).

p25 / median / p75 are the 25th, 50th (middle), and 75th percentile of the peers' multiples. Half the peers fall between p25 and p75. The median (p50) is the typical peer — that's the benchmark we compare to.

What peers trade at (p25 / median / p75)

Bold middle number = median peer. Half the peers trade above it, half below. Computed over 8 same-industry peers; implausible multiples excluded.

What WAFD would be worth at the median peer's multiple
Banks & insurers aren't valued on revenue or EV/Sales — a bank's "revenue" (net interest income + fees) isn't comparable the way a normal company's sales are. Use the Bank lens (P/TBV + ROE) above, which is how banks are actually judged cheap or rich.

⚠️ Important caveat: peer multiples only work if the peers are genuinely comparable. Always check the peer list below — if the auto-picker grabbed micro-caps or unrelated businesses, the comparison is noise. A medical-device giant priced against tiny biotech startups won't produce a useful signal.

How to value a bank (not a DCF question)

A bank's economic engine is the shareholder equity on its balance sheet — what the accountants say is left over after all loans, deposits, and liabilities are netted out. The bank earns a percentage on that equity each year (its ROE). So the two questions are: (1) what are you paying per dollar of equity (Price / Book)? and (2) how much is that equity actually earning (ROE)? Free cash flow doesn't work here — banks lend out their cash for a living.

Price-to-Book (P/B)?Price-to-Book (P/B) — Share price divided by book value per share — what you pay for $1 of accounting equity.
Why it matters: For banks and insurers, book value is the regulatory capital they earn returns on. P/B is the cleanest comparison: 1.0× means buying the bank at the same price the accountants say it's worth.
Reference: 0.8–1.2× = fair for average bank · 1.5–2.0× = solid franchise · >2.5× = premium · <0.8× = potentially cheap or distress
Full explanation →
0.94×
Plain English: you pay $0.94 for every $1 of the bank's accounting equity ($37.87/share).
Below $1 = you're paying less than the equity is "worth" on paper.
Return on Equity (ROE)?Return on Equity (ROE) — How much profit the company generates on every dollar of shareholder equity.
Why it matters: For a bank, ROE is the engine. A bank earning 15% on equity will compound book value at ~15%/year if it retains earnings. Combined with P/B, ROE tells you whether a premium price is supported by returns.
Reference: <8% = weak · 10–12% = solid · 15%+ = excellent · >20% sustained = exceptional franchise
Full explanation →
+6.9%
Plain English: each $100 of shareholder equity earned $7 last year. Decent but not exceptional.
Return on Assets (ROA)?Return on Assets (ROA) — Net income divided by total assets — how productive each dollar of assets is.
Why it matters: For banks especially, ROA isolates underwriting and operating efficiency from leverage. Two banks with identical ROE may have very different ROAs — one earning it cleanly, one earning it on borrowed money.
Reference: <0.8% = weak · 1.0–1.2% = solid · >1.5% = excellent (very rare for big banks)
Full explanation →
+0.85%
Plain English: the bank earned $0.85 per $100 of assets. Below the 1.0%+ benchmark of well-run banks.
ROA differs from ROE because banks borrow ~10× their equity. Big asset base, smaller equity sliver.
Price / Earnings (P/E)?P/E Ratio — Stock price divided by annual earnings per share — how much you pay for $1 of yearly earnings.
Why it matters: High P/E = market expects fast growth or you are overpaying. Low P/E = market expects slow growth or the stock is cheap (sometimes for good reason).
Reference: 12–20 for mature businesses · 25–50 for growth · 80+ for speculative
Full explanation →
13.5×
Plain English: at $2.63 earnings per share, you'd take 14 years of current earnings to recover the share price (if earnings stayed flat).
Trading roughly at book value — fair price for an average bank
Plain English: market price ≈ accounting equity. Neither cheap nor expensive — depends on whether returns improve.

Note: this lens skips Altman Z-Score and Piotroski F-Score (validated on industrial companies, not banks). For deeper bank-specific health analysis: check the 10-K's Tier 1 capital ratio, Non-Performing Loan ratio, and CET1 — these are what regulators actually monitor.

Quality & solvency checks

Cheap stocks can be cheap for a reason. These screens warn when a low valuation comes paired with structural fragility.

Altman Z-Score?Altman Z-Score — A bankruptcy-risk score combining 5 financial ratios into one number. Predictive of bankruptcy within 2 years.
Why it matters: Cheap-looking stocks (low P/E or P/B) often have low Z-scores because the market knows the company is dying. Z-score warns you before you fall into a value trap.
Reference: > 3.0 = safe zone · 1.81–3.0 = grey zone · < 1.81 = distress zone
Full explanation →
Not Applicable

Altman Z was calibrated on industrial firms and doesn't apply to banks or insurers — their balance sheets are dominated by loans/securities, not working capital. See the Bank Valuation Lens above for P/B, ROE and ROA — the metrics regulators and analysts actually use to assess bank solvency.

Piotroski F-Score?Piotroski F-Score — A 9-point quality checklist scoring profitability, leverage, and operating efficiency.
Why it matters: High score = fundamentals improving. Low score = deteriorating. Especially powerful for filtering cheap stocks: cheap + high F-score historically outperforms; cheap + low F-score is often a value trap.
Reference: 7–9 = strong · 4–6 = mediocre · 0–3 = weak
Full explanation →
Not Applicable

Piotroski F was built for non-financial firms (gross margin, asset turnover, current ratio all assume an industrial cost structure). For banks, the equivalent quality signals are efficiency ratio, net interest margin, and provision coverage — see the Bank Valuation Lens above.

What if you assume different inputs?

Here's where we land — and what happens if you change the assumptions. Drag the sliders to set your own Discount Rate?Discount Rate — The annual return you demand for taking single-stock risk instead of buying a safe Treasury or index fund.
Why it matters: Higher discount rate = stricter valuation (a stock has to produce more cash to be worth holding). Lower = more generous.

Note: at default inputs this calculator mirrors the headline model's three-scenario weighting (conservative/base/optimistic, 40/35/25), so its opening value should land close to the headline intrinsic value of $37.71.

9.1% — beta-based (CAPM), from this stock's Beta?Beta — How much the stock moves when the overall market moves. 1.0 = moves with the market; 1.5 = moves 50% more than the market.
Why it matters: Higher beta = more volatile = should demand higher discount rate. Low beta stocks (utilities, consumer staples) move less.

⚙ Advanced — tinker with every input (beta, growth, rate path, margin → full intrinsic value)
Where the discount rate comes from — discount rate = risk-free + beta × equity-risk-premium
What you'd earn risk-free from government bonds — the floor under every other rate. Slide it down to model the market expecting rate cuts (value rises); up for higher-for-longer.
The extra yearly return investors demand for owning stocks instead of safe bonds — the price of risk. History runs ~4.5–6.5%; we default to 5.5% (slightly conservative). It's an estimate, not a law — lower it if you think equities are less risky than that.
Inflation quietly eats returns: a 9% gain at 3% inflation is only ~6% in real purchasing power. The intrinsic value above is already in today's dollars (a nominal DCF cancels inflation out of both growth and the discount rate), so this doesn't change the value — it shows what's left of your return after the tax.
Higher beta → higher discount rate (sets the rate above). 1.0 = moves with the market.
What you think WAFD can grow FCF for ~5 years, then fades to terminal.

    Anatomy of a share

    What you're buying per share. Bars are at the same scale so you can see the relative size of revenue, costs, cash flow, and debt — not just read them in a table.

    WAFD WAFD INC stock anatomy showing per-share revenue, operating expenses, free cash flow, and debt
    762.5%
    profit
    Where each $1 of revenue goes
    Net profit — 762.5¢ of every dollar ($2.82/sh = latest fiscal-year net income ÷ current shares. The table below shows GAAP diluted EPS of $2.63, computed on that year's weighted-average diluted shares — the share count moved, which is why they differ)
    Costs & taxes — -662.5¢ (on $0.37 revenue/sh)
    Net margin = net income ÷ revenue (most recent fiscal year).
    Plain English: $38/share buys $0.37 of revenue per share per year, generates $2.82 of net income per current share, and $2.49 of owner-earnings free cash flow per current share (latest fiscal year). Each share carries $0.00 of debt. The DCF does not start from that single year — it instead starts from a EPS basis (residual-income model) of $2.82 per share to capture a full cycle.
    What's free cash flow / what do these mean?

    Revenue per share — how much the business earns from customers, divided by the number of shares outstanding. Top of the income statement.

    Earnings per share — profit left after operating costs, interest, and taxes, per share. Two versions appear on this page and are not interchangeable: GAAP diluted EPS uses the company's weighted-average diluted share count during the reporting period (this is the "earnings" in "price-to-earnings"); net income per current share divides annual net income by today's share count. They differ whenever the share count has changed.

    Owner-earnings free cash flow per share — the cash the business produces for shareholders. Savng's owner-earnings FCF subtracts capital expenditures and stock-based compensation from operating cash flow (SBC is a real dilution cost even though it's non-cash). This is deliberately more conservative than "standard" FCF, which subtracts only capital expenditures — so our figure is lower than the headline FCF you'll see elsewhere. FCF funds dividends, buybacks, debt repayment, and acquisitions; a company can report positive earnings yet negative FCF.

    Debt per share — total interest-bearing borrowings divided by shares. High debt-per-share next to thin FCF-per-share is a fragility signal.

    What you actually need to decide

    Every stock price is a disagreement. Here's the single thing that must go right for the bulls, the single thing that breaks the thesis, and the concrete signposts to watch so you can update your view as real results arrive.

    🐂 The Bull Case
    For the stock to perform, its franchise/durability score must improve, indicating stronger competitive advantages that can sustain its 4.7%/yr revenue growth and positive operating cash flow.
    🐻 The Bear Case
    The biggest fundamental risk is if the current franchise/durability score of 2/5 reflects an inability to compete effectively, potentially leading to future margin compression or a slowdown in revenue growth.
    📌 Signposts to watch — update your view as these print
    • Changes in net interest margin in upcoming quarters
    • Trends in loan growth and deposit acquisition
    • Updates to its franchise/durability score or competitive positioning

    The trend, in plain numbers (2024 → 2025)

    Straight from the financial statements — no model, no opinion. For a small or unprofitable company, the direction of these numbers usually tells you more than any single valuation.

    ✅ Improving
    • Revenue grew +8% to $29.7M.
    • Net income grew +13% to $226.1M.
    ⚠ Worsening
    • Free cash flow fell to $199.7M.

    Residual Income High

    Balance-sheet financial (Banks): residual income model - book value is meaningful anchor.

    In plain English: we estimate WAFD's value by projecting its book value plus the excess return it earns on that capital into the future and converting it back to what it's worth today. We start from $2.82 per share (EPS basis (residual-income model)), assume it grows 5.2% per year for about 5 years (then gradually fades), and discount everything at 9.1% — the yearly return a buyer should demand for this much risk. After that it's assumed to grow 3.0% per year forever (roughly the long-run pace of the whole economy). A higher discount rate or slower growth means a lower value, and vice-versa — change any of these yourself in the calculator above.

    What this model does NOT do: this is a consolidated owner-earnings FCF model. Standalone segment assumptions: none. It does not project net interest income and fee-income lines independently; their combined effect is embedded in the historical revenue and cash-flow trend the model extrapolates. The calculator above can only approximate a segment's impact through the single consolidated growth rate — it cannot model any one line separately. For a true segment-level view, build a separate model from the company's segment disclosures.
