    The regional bank is down about 30 percent over the past year, reflecting weakness in the space following the collapse of two larger banks in March.

    However, Mid Penn has held up well, with shares trading at 8 times earnings and with the bank sporting a 28 percent profit margin.

  • Plus, Mid Penn trades at about two-thirds of its book value. That indicates that shares are likely undervalued relative to  their existing book of loans.
    Action to take: Investors may like shares at current prices. The bank pays a 3.7 percent dividend, and likely has more upside ahead as the banking sector recovers from the selloff earlier this year.

    For traders, options are limited. But the October $20 calls, last going for about $6.30, are already about $1.50 in-the-money. They could see mid-double-digit gains on a move higher for shares over the next two months.
