Glacier Bancorp (GBCI) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Glacier Bancorp Inc. is poised for robust growth, with its markets projected to expand at twice the national average over the next five years, supporting the bank's above-peer growth trajectory. The bank is expected to achieve significant margin improvement, with a projected increase of 141 basis points from the fourth quarter of 2023 through the end of 2026, culminating in a normalized net interest margin approaching 4.00% by that time. Moreover, the company anticipates strong earnings per share (EPS) growth, expecting a 76% increase from 2024 to 2026, coupled with a solid EPS momentum build-up that positions it favorably for 2027, enhancing its overall financial attractiveness in the SMID-cap segment.
Bears say
Glacier Bancorp Inc. is experiencing a negative outlook due to a projected decrease in earnings, with the 2026 estimated earnings per share (EPS) revised down by 9% to $2.86, despite stable credit performance and an unchanged EPS estimate. The company's net interest margin (NIM) has declined to 2.56% in 4Q23, significantly lower than pre-pandemic levels exceeding 4%, which reflects challenges in yield from reinvestment of cash flows while expectations around NIM have become more conservative. Furthermore, despite a prior strong performance relative to peers, Glacier Bancorp has lagged the KRX index by approximately 860 basis points in year-to-date performance, indicating a concerning trend for its stock in the current market environment.
