“Capitol Federal Financial is a savings bank headquartered in Topeka, Kansas that was founded in 1893. The firm has significantly less exposure to commercial real estate than its small cap peers, instead preferring to focus on mortgages for single-family homes. The bank is overcapitalized and pays out special dividends in most years. As a result of the lockdowns, management offered forbearance to many of its commercial customers. This, along with overall pressure on the sector, pushed the stock price and valuation down to multiyear lows.”
