Bank OZK (OZK) Stock Forecast & Price Target
Bank OZK (OZK) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Bank OZK is projected to deliver strong fundamentals, with expectations of mid-single-digit loan growth in 2026 and a re-acceleration to 10-11% loan growth in 2027, indicating robust operational expansion. The bank's earnings power is anticipated to exceed $1 billion in Pre-Provision Net Revenue (PPNR) for 2026, supported by a low-leverage portfolio that enhances its loss-absorption capacity. Alongside a 12.1% growth in Tangible Book Value Per Share (TBVPS), and a strong return on assets (ROA) of 1.75% and return on equity (ROE) of 12.5%, Bank OZK demonstrates resilience and potential for continued financial strength amid challenging credit conditions.
Bears say
Bank OZK faces a negative outlook primarily due to the potential impact of an economic slowdown on its asset quality, which could lead to higher nonperforming assets and increased net charge-offs, resulting in a decline in net income. Additionally, acquisition risks are a concern, as potential integration issues and financial risks associated with EPS dilution might adversely affect the bank's operational stability and asset quality. Finally, the pressure from compressed net interest margins due to decreasing interest rates and the possibility of an inverted yield curve could further contribute to shortfalls in net interest income, complicating the bank's financial projections.
