OZRK may not be a household name, but it is a very well run bank. We have not seen many banks with this growth rate and this track record for smooth and predictable earnings.
Note that we replaced Return on Capital with NOPCF per SH/EPS. The Net Operating Cash Flow Per Share divided by the Earnings Per Share – a ratio that is difficult to fudge.
