Fundamentals
Valuation and ratings
Mercantile Bank Corporation trades at $58.32, which is 93% below the $112.54 our fair value estimate puts on the business. On that measure alone it screens as undervalued, though a valuation model is an argument rather than a measurement, and the market is frequently right about why something is cheap.
Our moat model scores it 47 out of 100, which is a moat, but not a deep one. 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 10.3 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 Mercantile Bank Corporation (MBWM) undervalued?
Against our fair value estimate of $112.54, MBWM at $58.32 is 93% below fair value. That is one model's answer, not a recommendation. It is built from normalized earning power with growth capped deliberately low, which understates companies whose value is mostly future growth.
Which funds own MBWM?
7 of the institutions we track reported a position in MBWM 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 MBWM's P/E ratio?
MBWM trades at 10.3 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.
Does Mercantile Bank Corporation (MBWM) pay a dividend?
Yes. Mercantile Bank Corporation yields 2.70% at the current share price. It has paid $1.56 per share over the trailing twelve months. It has paid a dividend in each of the last 14 complete calendar years. A dividend is declared by the board and can be cut at any time; a yield is a fact about the current price, not a promise.
When does MBWM report earnings next?
Mercantile Bank Corporation is scheduled to report on 20 Oct 2026. Companies move earnings dates, so read it as scheduled rather than certain.
