However, over the past month, the company's stock went up by 13.90%, and in the past year, by 75.45%.

<h3>Evaluating M&amp;T Bank P/E in Comparison to Its Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
M&amp;T Bank has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 19.11 of the Banks industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1730218938_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

P/E Ratio Insights for M&T Bank

While apprehensiveness ahead of the third-quarter earnings season permeated the air, the U.S. regional banking sector has proven doubters wrong, at least according to JPMorgan Chase analyst Anthony Elian. With small-to-middle-capitalization banks<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41494450/3-regional-bank-stock-picks-from-jpmorgan-analyst-encouraged-after-solid-q3"> posting better-than-expected financial results</a>, the underlying ecosystem stands poised for potentially sustained growth.
As the one-week mark of the Q3 earnings season passed, seven of the regional banks which JPMorgan covers disclosed their results, with five of them beating analysts' bottom-line expectations. As Benzinga's Piero Cingari mentioned, the "primary driver behind these beats was stronger-than-expected net interest margins (NIM) and net interest income (NII)."
What's more, several key metrics for U.S. banks boded well for the broader economy. "Average deposits increased at a 7% annualized rate, while average loans grew by 2% annually. On a period-end basis, deposits rose at an even stronger 11% annualized pace, and loans increased by 3% annually. Importantly, NII expanded at a robust 12% annualized rate," wrote Cingari.
To be fair, not every element fared well. In particular, a few banks reported a lift in non-performing assets (NPA) due to headwinds associated with office loans. However, the space has improved considerably from the lows of last year's<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/05/39099474/regional-banks-yet-to-recover-from-svb-collapse-time-to-invest-in-the-top-banking-etf"> regional banking crisis</a>. In addition, experts point to the sector still<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/02/36917031/exclusive-regional-banks-a-buying-opportunity-amid-ridiculously-cheap-valuations-ve"> trading below historical valuations</a>.
The DPST ETF: For bold investors wanting to speculate on the long side of the regional banking narrative, financial services specialist Direxion offers a risky but compelling leveraged exchange-traded fund. The Direxion Daily Regional Banks Bull 3X Shares (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DPST#NYSE">DPST</a>) seeks daily investment results equivalent to 300% of the performance of the S&amp;P Regional Banks Select Industry Index.
Primarily, the DPST ETF brings to the table leverage in a convenient format. While traders can use options for leveraged transactions, such strategies can be complicated. With this 3X fund, investors can pick up individual units much like regular stocks. Moreover, the Daily Regional Banks Bull 3X Shares covers a wide range of individual banks, such as Regions Financial Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RF#NYSE">RF</a>) and M&amp;T Bank Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MTB#NYSE">MTB</a>).
It's important to note, though, that DPST is wildly choppy. In addition, it's critical that investors do not hold leveraged ETFs for periods lasting longer than one day. Otherwise, the daily compounding of volatility could lead to gradual value erosion.
The DPST Chart: Although the DPST fund got off to a rocky start this year, it found its footing in the back half, gaining almost 70% in the trailing six months.
<ul>
<li>The 3X ETF popped over 8% in late-afternoon trading Monday, buoyed by the Dow Jones and improved sentiment for the economy.</li>
<li>Since approximately mid-June, DPST has been charting a series of higher lows, further underscoring the net-positive fundamental outlook.</li>
<li>However, traders should keep an eye on volume levels, which generally have been fading since July.</li>
</ul>

Chipmakers Rally, Nvidia Smashes Records On TSMC Blowout Earnings, Gold Hits All-Time Highs: What's Driving Markets Thursday?

M&T Bank shares are trading higher after the company reported better-than-expected Q3 financial results.

Technology stocks, specifically chipmakers, could lead from the front on Thursday as a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41373163/nvidia-supplier-tsmc-reports-q3-revenue-earnings-beat-amid-rising-demand-for-ai-chips"> stellar third-quarter earnings report </a>from Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) is triggering positive sentiment toward all artificial intelligence plays. Oil prices have rebounded and gold traded at a fresh record, while bond yields held steady ahead of a slew of market-moving data that include retail sales, a regional manufacturing activity index, industrial production, and jobless claims.
Earnings news could provide an offsetting impact in the eventuality of the market construing the economic data as inclement. Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) is the first among the mega-cap earnings due after the market close and the results could evince interest among traders and set the tone for the tech reporting season.

Cues From Last Session:
Small-caps ripped higher on Wednesday, extending their recent gains amid hopes of a benign economic environment but the major averages opened on a tentative note. Solid earnings reports from financial companies and strong gains by real-estate and utility stocks helped the major indices close firmly in the green.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average turned solidly higher immediately after spending the better part of the session above the unchanged line. The 30-stock blue-chip average ended at a fresh high, although it did not have enough momentum to break above its Oct. 15 intraday high of 43,277.78.
The S&amp;P 500 Index and the Nasdaq Composite had a lackluster first-half before picking up momentum in the afternoon. 
Of the 11 S&amp;P 500 sector classes, only communication services and consumer discretionary stocks declined in Wednesday&#8217;s session.

Insights From Analysts:
Delving into the small-cap rally that has been on, LPL Financial Chief Technical Strategist Adam Turnquist said after being stuck in a consolidation phase over the past few months, small-caps have picked up some momentum in recent sessions, with the growth outlook recently improving — underpinned by better-than-feared labor market conditions — and increased visibility into Fed rate cuts, he said.
The strategist noted that the Russell 2,000 Index, or RTY, has rallied off the lower end of its rising price channel. &#8220;Recent strength in the banking space — the RTY's largest sector by weighting — has further supported small caps,&#8221; he said.
Technically, a close above 2,275 would confirm a breakout from its current symmetrical triangle and leave&nbsp;the 2021 highs (2,243)&nbsp;as the next resistance hurdle to clear, Turnquist said, adding that momentum indicators have also recently turned bullish, adding to the evidence of a topside breakout.
&#8220;Despite the improving absolute performance, the RTY vs. S&amp;P 500 ratio chart still remains in a downtrend and below its declining 200-day moving average (DMA),&#8221; he said. A close above the July highs would validate a trend reversal in favor of small caps outperforming, he added.
Meanwhile, a fund manager thinks AI-levered companies could be defensive plays. Louis Navellier said, &#8220;Semiconductor demand has become the new proxy for global growth trends, being incorporated into almost everything, and also has geopolitical implications with technology export controls in place and China continuing to saber rattle about taking Taiwan back.&#8221;
&#8220;The upshot here is the inference that AI will still have legs even if we slide into a global recession in &#8217;25,&#8221; he added.
