First Bancorp (FBP) Stock Forecast & Price Target
First Bancorp (FBP) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
First BanCorp is expected to experience stable credit and expanding NIM thanks to reinvestment of low-yielding maturing securities and modest balance sheet growth. As the second-largest bank in Puerto Rico, the company is well-positioned to benefit from a positive economic environment in the territory, including sustained federal reconstruction spending and onshoring investment in manufacturing. With its attractive returns and strong regulatory capital, First BanCorp is poised for long-term growth and potential inorganismic expansion, warranting a Buy rating.
Bears say
First BanCorp is projected to experience growth in their net interest margin and loan portfolio, along with strong efficiency ratios and plans for capital return to shareholders. However, their credit outlook is expected to remain stable and a projected decline in non-interest income could impact profitability in the future.
