FB Financial reported strong second quarter 2026 results, with sharp year-over-year gains in net income and net interest income, alongside active share repurchases. The stock has returned 9.65% over the past 30 days and 24.34% over one year. A widely followed narrative estimates a fair value of $64.43 per share, implying the stock is undervalued relative to its latest close of $58.97, based on a 7.11% discount rate. That narrative assumes faster revenue growth, wider margins, and a leaner share count, partly driven by the planned combination with Southern States Bank, which is expected to enhance scale and market opportunities. However, a more cautious view notes that FB Financial trades at a P/E of 15x versus a fair ratio of 14.4x, while the US Banks industry average is 12.2x and peers trade at 16.2x, raising questions about valuation risk.
