ServisFirst Bancshares (SFBS) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
ServisFirst Bancshares has demonstrated a strong operational performance, bolstered by the addition of seven new loan production officers which is expected to enhance loan demand. The bank is projected to see a favorable expansion in net interest margin (NIM) of approximately 7-10 basis points per quarter, particularly benefiting from anticipated Federal Reserve cuts and strategic repositioning. With robust profitability metrics, evidenced by a 1.50% return on assets (ROA) and over 15.5% return on equity (ROE), alongside a near 11% loan growth, the bank is positioned favorably for future financial success.
Bears say
Servisfirst Bancshares Inc reported a loan growth of approximately 2.4% on a last quarter annualized basis, which fell short of expectations due to elevated payoffs and a decrease in net interest margin (NIM) to 3.09%, impacted by a large relationship moving to non-accrual status. The company experienced a core earnings per share (EPS) of $1.31, slightly below consensus estimates, primarily driven by weaker net interest income (NII) and higher expenses, leading to lower forward estimates for 2026. Additionally, concerns regarding the financial impact of a specific non-performing asset, consisting of an 8-loan relationship, are anticipated to place downward pressure on the stock, coupled with an overall reduction in industry multiples and growth expectations.
