This is a fantastic company.
High, stable and consistent profit margin standing at 25%, on average, per year, for the past 7 years, seems to be the pillar of performance for this banking services provider.
Second stellar attribute is its ability to control debt and cash. Since 2018 to present, Regions has managed to aggressively eliminate debt, making its Debt/Equity drop from 0.94 to 0.18, making it a very healthy company running on equity rather than debt. Also, over the same period it manages to keep its equity stable at around 15B$.
Since 2016, the company has very good control of its cash, keeping its cash on hand(free cash flow) always at or above the level of net earnings for the year. Currently, company's cash on hand can cover its debt in full.
All this, healthy finances and consistently high profit margins, makes Regions an outstanding company. Considering its 10 year low PE, which was around 6.3 and its current PE which is 6.8, it is safe to say that at 16$ per share, with this kind of business performance, Regions is a good investment.
Have a great day.
