Company Overview

Tracing its roots back to 1864 during the Civil War era, F.N.B. Corporation (NYSE: FNB) is a diversified financial services holding company that provides banking, wealth management, and insurance services to consumers and businesses across seven states and Washington, D.C.

Sales Growth

Two primary revenue streams drive bank earnings. While net interest income, which is earned by charging higher rates on loans than paid on deposits, forms the foundation, fee-based services across banking, credit, wealth management, and trading operations provide additional income.

Over the last five years, F.N.B. Corporation grew its revenue at a decent 6.1% compounded annual growth rate. Its growth was slightly above the average bank company and shows its offerings resonate with customers.

F.N.B. Corporation Quarterly Revenue

We at StockStory place the most emphasis on long-term growth, but within financials, a half-decade historical view may miss recent interest rate changes, market returns, and industry trends. F.N.B. Corporation’s recent performance shows its demand has slowed as its revenue was flat over the last two years. F.N.B.

This quarter, F.N.B. Corporation reported year-on-year revenue growth of 8.5%, and its $438 million of revenue exceeded Wall Street’s estimates by 3.6%.

F.N.B. Corporation Quarterly Net Interest Income as % of Revenue

Our experience and research show the market cares primarily about a bank’s net interest income growth as non-interest income is considered a lower-quality and non-recurring revenue source.

Here at StockStory, we certainly understand the potential of thematic investing. Diverse winners from Microsoft (MSFT) to Alphabet (GOOG), Coca-Cola (KO) to Monster Beverage (MNST) could all have been identified as promising growth stories with a megatrend driving the growth.

Tangible Book Value Per Share (TBVPS)

Banks are balance sheet-driven businesses because they generate earnings primarily through borrowing and lending. They’re also valued based on their balance sheet strength and ability to compound book value (another name for shareholders’ equity) over time.

This explains why tangible book value per share (TBVPS) stands as the premier banking metric. TBVPS strips away questionable intangible assets, revealing concrete per-share net worth that investors can trust. Traditional metrics like EPS are helpful but face distortion from M&A activity and loan loss accounting rules.

F.N.B. Corporation’s TBVPS grew at an impressive 7.9% annual clip over the last five years. TBVPS growth has also accelerated recently, growing by 12.6% annually over the last two years from $8.79 to $11.14 per share.

F.N.B. Corporation Quarterly Tangible Book Value per Share

Over the next 12 months, Consensus estimates call for F.N.B. Corporation’s TBVPS to grow by 9.1% to $12.16, decent growth rate.

Key Takeaways from F.N.B. Corporation’s Q2 Results

What happened in the latest quarter matters, but not as much as longer-term business quality and valuation, when deciding whether to invest in this stock.
