TRST
TrustCo Bank Corp NY (TRST) 10Y Growth Potential Analysis (2026)
Overall Score
Growth Runway
Revenue growth is not provided, but the bank's profitability profile remains modest with ROE at 9.6% and ROIC at 0.5%, suggesting limited compounding efficiency.
Valuation is not cheap enough to imply a clear long-duration growth discount, with EV/Sales at 4.46x and P/E at 15.9x.
Profitability And Reinvestment
Margins are healthy for a bank, with gross margin at 62.5% and net margin at 27.0%, but operating efficiency remains constrained by a low operating return on assets of 0.7%.
Reinvestment appears limited and uneven, with capex only 2.2% of revenue and free cash flow conversion strong, yet ROIC remains very low at 0.5%.
Balance Sheet Resilience
Leverage is manageable at debt-to-equity of 0.22x and net debt/EBITDA of 2.06x, but liquidity is weak with a current ratio of 0.41x.
Interest coverage is thin at 0.48x, which limits financial flexibility despite solid equity capitalization.
Cash Generation
Free cash flow yield is solid at 6.5%, and free cash flow to operating cash flow is 92.5%, indicating strong cash conversion.
Cash generation is supported by a 28.6% operating cash flow margin and relatively low capex intensity.
Shareholder Returns
The dividend yield is attractive at 2.7%, but the payout ratio of 42.2% leaves only moderate room for aggressive reinvestment or buybacks.
Book value support is reasonable with price-to-book at 1.53x, but not so low as to signal a deep value cushion.
