Does Inter & Co Look Undervalued on Excess Returns?

The Excess Returns model starts by asking how much profit Inter & Co can earn above the return investors require on its equity. In this view, the bank is projected to generate a stable earnings power of $4.91 per share on a stable book value of $28.60 per share, with those estimates drawn from analyst expectations for both future profitability and balance sheet size.

Inter & Co is modeled with an average return on equity of 17.16%, against a cost of equity of $3.14 per share. That gap feeds into an excess return of $1.77 per share, which supports an intrinsic value that the Excess Returns projections place substantially above the current share price of $6.90. The separate dividend framework, which uses a dividend of $1.06 per share and a capped long run dividend growth rate of 3.7%, points to additional value from future distributions. This combination of excess returns on equity and an ongoing dividend stream is what the model weighs against today's traded price.
