Key financials NatWest reports an ROE of 14.1% and ROA of 0.8%, with gross, operating, and net margins of 100.0%, 50.3%, and 36.9%, respectively. Revenue grew 7.5% and EPS 15.6%. Dividend yield is 4.8% with a 46.6% payout ratio. Valuation metrics include a forward P/E of 9.94 and P/B of 1.24.

Stock health The stock shows mixed momentum: +16.87% over 3 months, +1.23% over 6 months, and +25.54% over 12 months. It is 5.69% below its 52-week high, with an RSI(14) of 52.20. Sideravia scores Valuation at 74.1 and Income at 93.0, indicating attractive valuation and income appeal.

Price vs fair value The stock trades at a **discount** of 34.70% to our fair-value estimate of 895.62 and a **discount** of 14.47% to the 12-month target of 761.22. - The discount to fair value reflects the bank’s elevated risk profile, with an Altman Z-score of -0.50 and a Piotroski F-Score of 5/9. - Analysts cite improved guidance and an accelerated buyback plan as reasons for the smaller discount to the 12-month target (The Wall Street Journal). - Sideravia’s Valuation percentile of 74.1 supports the view that the stock is attractively valued relative to its peers.

Looking forward Forward P/E of 9.94 suggests undemanding valuation, but weak Altman Z and low ROCE of 3.8% highlight structural profitability challenges. The 4.8% dividend yield and recent buyback acceleration may support near-term sentiment. Execution on cost control and risk management will be key for multiple expansion.
