Company Overview
With roots dating back to 1913 and a name derived from "United Missouri Bank," UMB Financial (NASDAQ: UMBF) is a financial holding company that provides banking, asset management, and fund services to commercial, institutional, and individual customers.
Sales Growth
From lending activities to service fees, most banks build their revenue model around two income sources. Interest rate spreads between loans and deposits create the first stream, with the second coming from charges on everything from basic bank accounts to complex investment banking transactions. Over the last five years, UMB Financial grew its revenue at an exceptional 18.5% compounded annual growth rate. Its growth beat the average banking company and shows its offerings resonate with customers, a helpful starting point for our analysis.
We at StockStory place the most emphasis on long-term growth, but within financials, a half-decade historical view may miss recent interest rate changes, market returns, and industry trends. UMB Financial’s annualized revenue growth of 38.5% over the last two years is above its five-year trend, suggesting its demand was strong and recently accelerated. 
Note: Quarters not shown were determined to be outliers because they were impacted by outsized investment gains/losses that are not indicative of the recurring fundamentals of the business.
This quarter, UMB Financial reported year-on-year revenue growth of 17.9%, and its $778 million of revenue exceeded Wall Street’s estimates by 6.4%.
Net interest income made up 67.7% of the company’s total revenue during the last five years, meaning lending operations are UMB Financial’s largest source of revenue.
While banks generate revenue from multiple sources, investors view net interest income as the cornerstone - its predictable, recurring characteristics stand in sharp contrast to the volatility of non-interest income.

Tangible Book Value Per Share (TBVPS)
Banks are balance sheet-driven businesses because they generate earnings primarily through borrowing and lending. They’re also valued based on their balance sheet strength and ability to compound book value (another name for shareholders’ equity) over time.
When analyzing banks, tangible book value per share (TBVPS) takes precedence over many other metrics. This measure isolates genuine per-share value by removing intangible assets of debatable liquidation worth. EPS can become murky due to acquisition impacts or accounting flexibility around loan provisions, and TBVPS resists financial engineering manipulation.
UMB Financial’s TBVPS grew at a tepid 3.7% annual clip over the last five years. However, TBVPS growth has accelerated recently, growing by 9% annually over the last two years from $60.58 to $72.03 per share.
Over the next 12 months, Consensus estimates call for UMB Financial’s TBVPS to grow by 18.5% to $85.33, top-notch growth rate.
