Every single one of the measurement metrics are in a much superior position against the market high price three years ago. The bank is in a position to perform very well over the next year and with that, the market price will follow suit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Banks are one of the few investment pools whereby intrinsic value<\/span> <\/strong><\/a>and book value correlate closely. This is due to two driving forces. First, banks have a strong current assets portfolio especially with government securities. Secondly, banks are thinly capitalized, typically below 15% of total assets. Bank of New York holds a strong equity position with a total Tier 1 capital ratio of 15.8%. BNY’s tangible book value (adjusted for intangible rights and goodwill) is currently $25.44 per share. At one point during the last three years, the market price did drop to $29 per share. This was in February 2020 directly tied to the COVID-19 market sell-off. At $42 per share, the current market price is between tangible and full book value per share.<\/span><\/p>\n

One last interesting note, since 2017, Bank of New York’s <\/span>equity has increased $5.8 Billion to $45.5 Billion. Act on Knowledge.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
