## Approach 1: Farmers National Banc Excess Returns Analysis

The Excess Returns model looks at how much profit a company is expected to earn over and above the return that shareholders require, then adds that value to the underlying book value per share. It is essentially asking how efficiently each dollar of equity is being used, after accounting for the cost of that equity.

For Farmers National Banc, the model starts with a Book Value of $12.95 per share and a Stable Book Value estimate of $14.27 per share, based on weighted future book value estimates from 3 analysts. Using a Stable EPS of $1.79 per share, sourced from the median return on equity from the past 5 years, and a Cost of Equity of $1.00 per share, the implied Excess Return is $0.79 per share. This aligns with an Average Return on Equity of 12.52%.

Combining these inputs, Simply Wall St's Excess Returns model arrives at an intrinsic value estimate of about $36.05 per share. Versus the current share price of around $14.04, the implied intrinsic discount of 61.1% suggests the shares are treated as materially undervalued by this framework.

**Result: UNDERVALUED**

## Approach 2: Farmers National Banc Price vs Earnings

For profitable companies, the P/E ratio is often the cleanest way to connect what you pay today with the earnings the business is currently generating. It tells you how many dollars investors are willing to pay for each dollar of earnings.

What counts as a "normal" P/E depends on what the market expects from a company and how risky those earnings appear. Higher expected growth and lower perceived risk can support a higher P/E, while lower growth or higher risk usually call for a lower multiple.

Farmers National Banc currently trades on a P/E of 14.52x. That is above both the Banks industry average P/E of 11.71x and the peer group average of 11.84x. Simply Wall St also calculates a proprietary “Fair Ratio” of 17.21x for Farmers National Banc, which reflects factors such as its earnings profile, industry, profit margins, market cap and risk characteristics. This Fair Ratio can be more informative than a simple comparison with peers, because it adjusts for company specific features rather than treating all banks as identical.

Comparing the current P/E of 14.52x with the Fair Ratio of 17.21x indicates that the shares are pricing in a lower multiple than this framework would suggest.

**Result: UNDERVALUED**
