## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 29.5×** (5-yr avg 9.1×, 3-yr avg 9.3×). VersaBank trades at 29.5× trailing earnings, well above its own five-year average of 9.1×: 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 11.3×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **Price / sales: 6.8×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 6.8×.
- **Price / book: 1.8×**. The shares trade at 1.8× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 1.0%** (5-yr avg 27.0%). Free cash flow equals 1.0% of the market value, below its five-year average of 27.0%, so the shares are pricier on cash than usual.
- **Earnings yield: 3.4%**. The inverse of the P/E: 3.4% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability
- **Net margin: 22.8%**. 22.8% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 5.3%**. 5.3% on shareholders' equity is weak; the business earns little on the capital its owners have in it.
