FIBK Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
First Interstate BancSystem Inc. has demonstrated a positive trajectory in net interest margin (NIM), which increased 2 basis points quarter-over-quarter to 3.38%, with management anticipating further expansion to over 3.50% by the end of 2026, supported by potential interest rate cuts. The company also revised its earnings per share estimates for 2026 and 2027 upwards to $2.66 and $2.95 respectively, propelled by an expected acceleration in share repurchases following a significant gain from a branch sale. Additionally, improvements in non-performing assets to total assets (NPAs/TA) reflect a positive trend in credit quality, enhancing the overall financial stability of the institution.
Bears say
First Interstate BancSystem Inc. recently reported a modest decline in spread income, which fell 0.2% quarter-over-quarter to $206.4 million, while loans decreased by 5.2% on a linked-quarter annualized basis. For 2026, the company anticipates flat to declining loan balances alongside a modest deposit growth rate of 1-3%, indicating potential challenges in maintaining profitability and growth. Additional risks highlighted include significant economic deterioration in the Inland Northwest and a severe deterioration in credit quality, both of which could adversely impact the bank's financial performance.
