Associated Banc-Corp (ASB) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Associated Banc-Corp has demonstrated a strong improvement in non-performing assets (NPAs), which decreased by 8.5% quarter-over-quarter, resulting in a current ratio of 0.48% of loans and other real estate owned (OREO), along with a favorable net charge-off (NCO) rate of 17 basis points. The company's organic growth initiatives are gaining traction, fostering improved returns and operating leverage, which is expected to continue into the latter half of 2025 and into 2026. Furthermore, Associated Banc-Corp has maintained a robust net interest margin that significantly outperforms its peers, alongside projected increases in noninterest income of 5-6% relative to 2024 levels, fueled by stronger capital markets performance.
Bears say
The analysis on Associated Banc-Corp suggests a negative outlook primarily due to anticipated challenges in net interest margin (NIM) and overall asset quality, which may lead to lower earnings estimates. Furthermore, a significant contraction in average total deposits, coupled with higher-than-expected core expenses, raises concerns regarding the bank’s operational efficiency and revenue generation capability. Additionally, risks such as increased credit costs, weakened loan demand, and heightened deposit competition could further impede the company’s financial performance.
