Associated Banc-Corp (ASB) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Associated Banc-Corp has demonstrated a positive trend in non-performing assets (NPAs), which improved by 8.5% quarter-over-quarter to 0.48% of loans and Other Real Estate Owned (OREO), suggesting enhanced asset quality. The bank's organic growth initiatives are gaining momentum, expected to drive improved returns and operating leverage in the second half of 2025 and into 2026, supported by strong loan growth and an improving balance sheet mix. Additionally, management projects noninterest income to increase by 5-6% in 2025 compared to 2024, reflecting robust performance in capital markets and a stable net interest margin that surpasses peers.
Bears say
The financial reports for Associated Banc-Corp indicate a concerning outlook due to anticipated growth in noninterest expenses that is likely to remain below the growth rate experienced in 2025. The company faces multiple risks, including potential net interest margin compression, increased credit costs, and challenges in loan demand, which could adversely impact earnings estimates. Additionally, a significant contraction of 7.2% in average total deposits, coupled with higher-than-expected core expenses, further compounds the negative financial trajectory for the company.
