Fundamentals
Valuation and ratings
Burke & Herbert Financial Services Corp. trades at USD71.54, close to the USD67.49 our discounted cash flow model puts on the business. On this measure the market and the model broadly agree, so the interesting question is which of them is wrong.
Our moat model scores it 40 out of 100, which is little in the way of a moat. A moat is a structural reason competitors cannot take the profits away, and it matters more to a long holding period than any single quarter's numbers do.
It changes hands at 9.2 times earnings. Be careful reading that in isolation: for a cyclical business a low P/E arrives at the top of the cycle, when profits are peaking and about to fall, which is exactly when the shares look cheapest and are not.

Common questions
Is Burke & Herbert Financial Services Corp. (BHRB) undervalued?
Against our discounted cash flow estimate of USD67.49, BHRB at USD71.54 is 6% above fair value. That is one model's answer, not a recommendation, and most of a DCF's output sits in a terminal value nobody can forecast.
Which funds own BHRB?
5 of the institutions we track reported a position in BHRB in their most recent SEC 13F filing. A 13F is filed up to 45 days after quarter end, so it tells you what a fund held then, not what it holds now.
What is BHRB's P/E ratio?
BHRB trades at 9.2 times earnings. A low P/E is not automatically cheap: on a cyclical company it is usually a warning that earnings are at a peak.
