  • Atlantic Union Bankshares (AUB) Shares Rally Amid Strong Returns and Undervalued Outlook
    February 3, 2026, 6:59 AM EST. Atlantic Union Bankshares (AUB) has gained notable investor interest with recent share price hitting $39.57, reflecting a 30-day return of 11.40% and a 1-year total shareholder return of 11.67%. The bank reported revenue of $1.23 billion and net income of $261.8 million. Analysts calculate an intrinsic value of $44.44 per share, implying a roughly 31% undervaluation based on growth, profitability, and capital return projections. Expansion in the U.S. Southeast via acquisitions and new branches drives expectations of above-peer loan and deposit growth. However, exposure to Mid Atlantic markets and execution risks remain concerns. The current price-to-earnings ratio of 21.4x contrasts with the undervaluation narrative, suggesting a complex valuation picture for investors.
