Analysis
Middle-of-the-road
Northwest Bancshares, Inc. sits in the middle of our grid: average quality, average price, no obvious signal in either direction.
On valuation, the picture is fair. The owner-earnings multiple stands at 17.9×; owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year. The implied growth embedded in that price is around 5% a year, against analyst forecasts of -5%. The gap between price and consensus is worth watching: demanding expectations.
Growth is solid; the safety picture is adequate. The company scores 13/20 on our value-creation score: creating some value. Analyst sentiment is cautious.
Flags to be aware of: Reported profits have run ahead of actual cash for several periods. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
