    Currently, FB Financial Corp’s price-earnings ratio is 14.2. FB Financial Corp’s trailing 12-month revenue is $481.4 million with a 30.9% profit margin. Year-over-year quarterly sales growth most recently was 32.9%. Analysts expect adjusted earnings to reach $3.091 per share for the current fiscal year. FB Financial Corp currently has a 1.6% dividend yield.

    We have a negative fundamental outlook on the consumer finance sub-industry. We note we had a negative fundamental outlook in place before the virus outbreak as we believed many strong macroeconomic indicators were contrary signals at extreme highs and therefore the odds had increased that we were closer to the top of the economic and credit cycle. We maintained our negative fundamental outlook through the Covid-19 pandemic due to the unprecedented spike in unemployment claims and slowdown in spending. While consumer finance companies did indeed suffer, most of these companies then experienced a sharp rebound in operations and share prices as delinquencies and charge-offs did not reach previous recessionary levels and spending resumed. Management at many of these companies have noted the multiple rounds of stimulus payments and supplemental unemployment contributed to the excellent credit metrics. However, management cannot (or will not) say by how much. Therefore, we think one of the biggest risks facing consumer finance companies is the expiration of these stimulus and supplemental unemployment programs, particularly as approximately 25 states are phasing them out over the next few months. While we admit it is possible that these companies will skate through a recession without experiencing any kind of recessionary levels of credit quality deterioration, we do not think it is probable. Management at some companies have already noted investors should expect to see credit metrics deteriorate at the end of 2021 and even into 2022. We see credit metrics at risk of resuming their deteriorating trend as an “echo boom” of delinquencies kick in after months of forbearance and as various stimulus programs end.
    Before you choose to buy, sell or hold FB Financial Corp stock, you’ll want to analyze how it has been graded. Stock evaluation requires access to huge amounts of data and the knowledge and time to sift through it all, making sense of financial ratios, reading income statements and analyzing recent stock movement. To help individual investors decide whether or not to buy (FBK) stock, AAII created A+ Investor, a robust data suite that condenses data research in an actionable and customizable way that is suitable for investors of all knowledge levels.

    AAII’s proprietary stock grades come with A+ Investor. These offer intuitive A–F grades for each of five key investing factors: value, growth, momentum, earnings revisions and quality. Here, we’ll take a closer look at FB Financial Corp’s stock grades for value, growth and quality.
    Successful stock investing involves buying low and selling high, so stock valuation is an important consideration for stock selection. To decide if FB Financial Corp stock is a buy or sell, you’ll want to evaluate its fair market price or intrinsic value.

    Buying stocks that are going to go up typically means buying stocks that are undervalued in the first place, although momentum investors may argue that point.

    AAII’s A+ Investor Value Grade is derived from a stock’s value score. The value score is the percentile rank of the average of the percentile ranks of the price-to-sales ratio, price-earnings ratio, enterprise-value-to-EBITDA (EV/EBITDA) ratio, shareholder yield, price-to-book-value ratio and price-to-free-cash-flow ratio. The score is variable, meaning it can consider all six ratios or, should any of the six ratios not be valid, the remaining ratios that are valid. To be assigned a Value Score, stocks must have a valid (non-null) ratio and corresponding ranking for at least two of the six valuation ratios.
