Associated Banc-Corp (ASB) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Associated Banc-Corp has demonstrated notable improvement in its non-performing assets (NPAs), which declined by 8.5% quarter-over-quarter, indicating enhanced asset quality and lower credit risk. The company's organic growth initiatives are expected to drive further returns and operating leverage into 2026, supported by strong loan momentum and a favorable balance sheet mix. Additionally, noninterest income is projected to increase by 5-6% compared to 2024 levels, reflecting robust capital markets revenues and contributing to a positive outlook for the bank's performance.
Bears say
Associated Banc-Corp faces multiple financial challenges that contribute to a negative outlook on its stock. The anticipated growth in noninterest expenses for 2026 is expected to lag behind the growth in 2025, indicating potential inefficiencies and increasing operational costs. Additionally, the bank is grappling with risks such as net interest margin compression, declining asset quality, and competitive pressures on deposits, which could further erode earnings potential and financial stability.
