Sierra Bancorp (BSRR) Stock Forecast & Price Target
Sierra Bancorp (BSRR) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Sierra Bancorp has demonstrated consistent performance with net interest income (NII) reported at $32.4 million, aligning with previous quarters and slightly surpassing estimates, while also achieving a notable expansion in net interest margin (NIM) to 3.79%. The bank's strategic focus on loan growth is supported by an anticipated mid-single digit increase in loans for 2026, coupled with a commitment to enhancing commercial deposit growth, which will positively influence balance sheet expansion and NIM. Additionally, the improvement in average earning asset yield to 5.18%, driven mainly by a rise in loan yields, signifies a strengthening financial position and a favorable outlook for future profitability.
Bears say
Sierra Bancorp's financial outlook is negatively impacted by a decline in average earning asset yield, which decreased by 6 basis points to 5.12%, driven by a lower loan yield that fell 2 basis points to 5.34%. The company also experienced a significant decrease in end-of-period deposits, with a drop of $56 million (7.7% LQA), mainly attributed to lower non-interest-bearing (NIB) deposits and interest-bearing transaction deposits. Additionally, a projected efficiency ratio decline to 56.7% indicates challenges in managing operational costs effectively, particularly as the firm seeks to invest in talent and technology amid these revenue pressures.
