While the 1 day share price return of negative 8.24% and 7 day share price return of negative 5.02% suggest fading short term momentum at a share price of US$74.52, the 1 year total shareholder return of 29.94% and 5 year total shareholder return of 235.37% point to a much stronger longer term picture.
If this kind of volatility has you looking across the sector, it could be a good moment to broaden your search with fast growing stocks with high insider ownership.
With Customers Bancorp trading at US$74.52, an indicated intrinsic discount near 55%, and analyst targets sitting higher, the key question is simple: are you looking at an undervalued regional bank, or is the market already pricing in future growth?
With Customers Bancorp last closing at $74.52 against a widely followed fair value of $87.00, the current narrative frames the stock at a meaningful discount while anchoring that view in detailed earnings and margin assumptions.
Sustained investment in technology, automation, and operational efficiency (supported by AI and digitized processes) is reducing the bank’s cost structure, as evidenced by top-quartile efficiency ratios and sequential improvement despite ongoing reinvestments; this is expected to continue boosting net margins and earnings.
Curious what kind of revenue path and margin profile are baked into that fair value, and how earnings are projected to ramp from here? The narrative leans on tightly defined growth rates, higher profitability, and a future earnings multiple that sits below where many peers trade. If you want to see exactly which assumptions do the heavy lifting in that $87.00 estimate, the full story is worth your time.
Result: Fair Value of $87.00 (UNDERVALUED)

However, this depends on concentrated exposure to digital asset related deposits, as well as ongoing spending on technology and recruitment, which could pressure margins if growth or regulation moves against it.
