Return on equity is net income as a share of shareholders' equity; return on tangible equity leaves out goodwill and other intangible assets. The efficiency ratio is operating costs as a share of revenue, so lower means the bank spends less to earn each dollar. Market cap is the last closing share price times the latest diluted share count, so it is approximate. P/E is the last close divided by diluted earnings per share over the last four quarters, or the latest fiscal year where the quarters aren't available; there is none when the company made a loss.

What M&T Bank does

M&T Bank Corporation is a bank holding company based in Buffalo, New York. It has two bank subsidiaries, M&T Bank and Wilmington Trust, N.A.

Its lending focuses on consumers in those areas and on small and medium-size businesses, and it also makes commercial mortgage loans. Subsidiaries provide multifamily real estate lending, equipment leasing and financing, and institutional brokerage.

At the end of 2025 M&T had total assets of $213.5 billion, deposits of $166.9 billion and shareholders' equity of $29.2 billion. M&T Bank accounts for over 99% of the company's assets. Its bank traces its history to 1856.

Its biggest risks, as it describes them

  • Falling credit quality on its loans.
  • Heavy concentration in the regions where its retail branches are, which leaves it exposed to a weak local economy.
  • Swings in debt and equity markets, and interest rate changes on its floating-rate funding and products.
  • Extensive government regulation and capital and liquidity requirements that limit what it can do.
  • Needing enough funding and liquidity, and relying on dividends from its subsidiaries.

Valuation

Value M&T Bank yourself from its earnings. A bank's cash flow is mostly the money it lends and takes in, so the cash flow model on other company pages doesn't suit it.

Price-to-earnings (P/E) method

Another common way to value a company is to multiply its earnings per share by a price-to-earnings (P/E) multiple: the number of years of today's earnings an investor pays for a share. A higher multiple usually means investors expect earnings to grow. Choose a multiple, for example from similar companies, to see the value it gives.

Value per share on three example scenarios, from M&T Bank's earnings per share of $18.93 (over the last four quarters). Each grows earnings for a year at the cash flow scenarios' rates and applies a multiple to next year's earnings: 13.4×, the middle of M&T Bank's own P/E today, its peers' median and its sector's median (its peers' median) for the base scenario, 20% less and more for the cautious and optimistic ones. The price is brought back a year at 10%, 9% and 8%. Select one to load it into the calculator. These are the model's arithmetic on those assumptions, not a forecast or a price target.

How the P/E method works. Value per share is earnings per share times the multiple. On a future year's earnings, that gives the price in that year, which is brought back to today at the discount rate: price ÷ (1 + discount rate) for each year ahead. It is quick and easy to compare across companies, but it ignores debt and cash, and earnings can swing with one-off gains and charges, so a multiple says most about steady, profitable businesses. Like the cash flow model, the result depends entirely on the assumptions you choose. It is not a forecast, a price target or a recommendation.

The latest 12 of 21 trades. Open-market purchases and sales by officers, directors and 10% owners, from their Form 4 filings with the SEC: one row per person, day and filing, at the day's average price. Grants, option exercises and shares withheld for tax aren't counted. Insiders buy and sell for many reasons, such as taxes, spreading their savings or a plan set up months earlier, so a trade on its own says little about where a company is heading.
