Analysis

Deep value

First Busey Corporation lands in the deep-value zone: the price is very low, but so are the business fundamentals.

The price is attractive. You pay 10.6× its owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year, which is in the historically attractive zone.

The trajectory is moderate and the balance sheet is sturdy. The company scores 13/20 on our value-creation score: creating some value.

Nothing is flagged here: no red or amber gates, no divergence between profits and cash. That is itself information: the numbers are straightforward. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
