What matters now

- For a financial, book-value and earnings-based methods matter more than a cash-flow DCF, which fits banks and insurers poorly.

Analysis
First Citizens BancShares, Inc (FCNCA) currently trades at $2,268, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $2,790, implying the stock looks roughly 23.0% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 49/100 (below-average quality), in the Financial Services sector. Bull case: trading below our estimate, it may offer upside if the fundamentals hold. Bear case: a low price can be a value trap when quality is weak or the data is thin (evidence: high), always confirm before acting.
Over the trailing twelve months, First Citizens BancShares, Inc generated revenue of $9.1B at a net margin of 24.7%. Revenue grew 4.9% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 10.2%. Net debt stands at $15.4B. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $2,093 (bear case) to $3,488 (bull case); at $2,268, the current price sits within that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades near its 52-week high and 40% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Financial Services peers we cover trades at 47% fair-value upside, at 23%, FCNCA screens richer than that median.
Fair Value models
Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.
All 6 models by family
Widest divergence: Multiples ($2,710) versus Dividend Discount ($244.93). Highest evidence: Residual Income (76).
