What to look at in Banking companies
- Efficiency Ratio (<=55%) — Operating expenses / revenue. Top banks below 55%.
- ROA (>=1%) — How much they earn per dollar of assets. ROE misleads in banks due to leverage.
- ROTCE (>=12%) — Return on Tangible Common Equity. Strips goodwill and intangibles.
- Equity / Assets (Tier 1 proxy) (>=8%) — Capital ratio proxy. FMP does not expose regulatory Tier 1 directly.
- P/B (1.0-1.5x) — Classic banking metric. <1x can be opportunity or distress.
- Sustainable dividend yield (>=2%, <8%) — EU banks pay 5-7% normally. >8% is distress signal.
