Data as of 2026-09-08. NYSE, United States. Sector: Financial Services / Banks. Price $46.38, market value $3.3 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 12.7×** (5-yr avg 10.6×, 3-yr avg 12.2×). BankUnited Inc. trades at 12.7× trailing earnings, well above its own five-year average of 10.6×: investors are paying up relative to the company's past. The Financial Services median in the September 2026 study was 13.1×. Forward P/E is 10.4×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **PEG: 0.71**. A PEG of 0.71 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 139.4×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 139.4×, a level that requires very high margins or very fast growth to justify.
- **Price / book: 1.1×**. The shares trade at 1.1× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **Earnings yield: 7.8%**. The inverse of the P/E: 7.8% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability
- **Return on equity: 8.8%**. 8.8% on shareholders' equity is weak; the business earns little on the capital its owners have in it.

- **EPS growth (1 yr): 14.6%** (3-yr -0.1%/yr, 5-yr 11.4%/yr). Earnings per share rose 14.6%, faster than revenue, so margins expanded or the share count shrank.
