The QScore of 64 for UMBF suggests a moderately attractive investment. The stock scores high on growth, driven by strong revenue and free cash flow growth of 68.5% and 386.4%, respectively.

The short-term score is 6 points higher than the long-term score, indicating some recent momentum, with a 12-month return of 41.3% and a bullish 50-day versus 200-day moving average crossover.
