S&T Bancorp

On valuation, the picture is attractive. The owner-earnings multiple stands at 11.9×; owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year. The implied growth embedded in that price is around -1% a year, against analyst forecasts of 3%. The price, in other words, assumes less than the experts do.

Growth is weak; the safety picture is sturdy. The company scores 10/20 on our value-creation score: creating some value. Analyst sentiment is cautious.

No flags apply to this company at this time: accounts, balance sheet, and cash quality all pass. A clean bill of health is meaningful, not just the absence of a warning. This analysis describes numbers; it is not investment advice.
