BFSTBusiness First Bancshares, Inc.
Is the price fair?
In its normal P/E range. That is the only one of 3 checks this filer's data supports, so take it as a single data point rather than a settled answer.
In its normal range: P/E 10.9 vs a 9.6 median over 33 quarters (+13% vs median).
Where this answer is blind. The growth-implied estimate assumes a fixed discount rate; capital-heavy sectors look structurally rich on it.
