Data as of 2026-09-08. NASDAQ, United States. Sector: Financial Services / Banks. Price $171.32, market value $10.9 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 11.6×** (5-yr avg 8.2×, 3-yr avg 10.3×). Popular Inc. trades at 11.6× trailing earnings, well above its own five-year average of 8.2×: 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 9.9×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **PEG: 0.23**. A PEG of 0.23 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 14.5×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 14.5×, a level that requires very high margins or very fast growth to justify.
- **Price / book: 1.7×**. The shares trade at 1.7× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 7.4%** (5-yr avg 12.0%). Free cash flow equals 7.4% of the market value, below its five-year average of 12.0%, so the shares are pricier on cash than usual. Above 5% is generally attractive.
- **Earnings yield: 8.6%**. The inverse of the P/E: 8.6% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability
- **Return on equity: 13.3%**. 13.3% on shareholders' equity is solid.
- **Return on assets: 0.3%**. Each dollar of assets produces 0.3% of profit; low single digits are normal for banks and insurers.
