Based on our multi-factor framework, the stock looks attractively valued with a Smart Value Score of 77/100. This score blends growth quality, financial health, and price attractiveness into a single institutional-grade read.
The stock trades at a P/E ratio of 13.0x, above its 5-year median of 12.2x. The PEG ratio of 1.46 points to a price that reasonably reflects expected earnings growth.
Looking at its own history, MTB is currently trading more expensive than 72% of the last 5Y on P/E. This places it in the 72th percentile of its historical range, a reasonable but unremarkable position.
A standard DCF model does not produce reliable output for MTB under current conditions. For unprofitable or near-breakeven companies, revenue-based multiples such as EV/Sales and historical P/S percentile are more informative than intrinsic value calculations.
The Piotroski F-Score of 6/9 puts financial quality in a middling range, neither a standout strength nor an obvious red flag.
