Bank Ozk is scored 68 for moat and 61 for management. The management score rests on a return on invested capital of -93.4% and a gross margin of 55.4% — figures that describe a business earning a respectable return on what it employs. Debt sits at 0.08x equity.
The price anchors are built on deliberately conservative assumptions. Growth is modelled at 15.0% a year, below the 19.0% actually measured over the last decade — the model caps growth rather than extrapolating a good run forwards. The exit multiple assumed is 10.4x. That produces an intrinsic value of $62.70, a 10-CAP price of $72.32 and a payback time price of $114.17, with the value zone set at the highest of the three, $114.17. Today's price of $46.34 sits inside that zone.
The price sits inside the value zone, but the business scores 68 for moat and 61 for management. Cheap and good are different tests, and only one of them is passed here.
