Giverny Capital Asset Management stated the following regarding M&T Bank Corporation (NYSE:MTB) in its fourth quarter 2023 investor letter:

"If our two main trims were not well-timed, the good news is that that our additions to existing positions mostly added value. We bought more shares of M&T Bank Corporation (NYSE:MTB) in April at $115. It finished the year at $137. I don’t love the banking business, but M&T is so intelligently managed by CEO Rene Jones and his team that I felt like $115, about seven times 2023 earnings, was too cheap to pass up."
