TRUSTMARK CORP represents a hold based on multi-factor quantitative performance.
Our model assigns TRUSTMARK CORP a Hold rating, with a composite score of 51.1/100 and 3 out of 5 stars. Ranked #1838 of 7,333 stocks, TRMK presents a mixed quantitative picture — neither compelling enough to initiate new positions nor weak enough to warrant selling. Investors already holding may consider maintaining their position while monitoring for changes in the factor profile.
TRMK's quality score of 33/100 is below average, suggesting challenges with profitability or capital efficiency. The company reports a return on equity of 10.3% (sector avg: 9.0%), gross margins of 0.0% (sector avg: 77.7%), net margins of 22.7% (sector avg: 21.9%). Investors should examine whether management is actively addressing these weaknesses or if they reflect structural industry headwinds.
TRMK's value score of 58/100 indicates the stock is fairly valued based on its current fundamentals. Key valuation metrics include a P/E ratio of 12.13x, an EV/EBITDA of 9.91x, a P/B ratio of 1.25x. At this level, neither a clear bargain nor overpriced, the stock's attractiveness depends more on forward growth expectations and qualitative factors.
TRUSTMARK CORP's investment score of 31/100 suggests limited reinvestment activity. Key growth metrics include revenue growth of 1.5% vs. a sector average of 10.7% and a return on assets of 1.2% (sector: 1.3%). While this can be positive for mature, cash-generative businesses returning capital to shareholders, it may also signal a lack of growth opportunities or management conservatism.
TRMK demonstrates moderate momentum with a score of 66/100, suggesting a neutral price trend without strong directional conviction. Revenue growth stands at 1.5% year-over-year, while a beta of 0.88 reflects its sensitivity to broader market moves. Moderate momentum may indicate the stock is consolidating or transitioning between trends, warranting close monitoring of upcoming catalysts.
With a stability score of 60/100, TRMK exhibits average financial resilience. Key stability metrics include a beta of 0.88 and a debt-to-equity ratio of 789.00x (sector avg: 0.5x). While the balance sheet is not a major concern, the stock is subject to typical market volatility and may experience sharper drawdowns during risk-off episodes.
TRUSTMARK CORP's short interest score of 36/100 reveals significant bearish positioning, suggesting institutional investors are actively betting against the stock. Specific risk factors include elevated leverage (D/E: 789.00x). At $2.4B (mid-cap), TRMK carries meaningful risk and is best suited for investors with high risk tolerance who have thoroughly evaluated the bear thesis.
TRMK pays a solid dividend yield of 2.4%, contributing an income component to total returns. This compares to a sector average dividend yield of 2.0%. This moderate yield suggests a balance between returning capital to shareholders and retaining earnings for reinvestment — a common profile among quality compounders.
TRUSTMARK CORP is a mid-cap company in the Finance, Insurance, And Real Estate sector, ranked #0 of 50 in its sector (100th percentile) and #1838 of 7,333 overall (75th percentile). Key comparisons include ROE of 10.3% exceeding the 9.0% sector median and operating margins of 27.8% above the 18.1% sector average. This top-quartile standing reflects exceptional competitive strength relative to Finance, Insurance, And Real Estate peers.
While TRMK currently exhibits a HOLD profile, superior opportunities exist within the FINANCE, INSURANCE, AND REAL ESTATE sector. Our model identifies several "Strong Buy" candidates with higher quality scores and more attractive valuations among direct industry competitors.
