ServisFirst Bancshares (SFBS) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Servisfirst Bancshares has demonstrated a solid outlook, highlighted by an increase in loan production, with the addition of seven new loan production officers expected to enhance overall lending performance. The company's financial projections show an upward revision in earnings estimates for 2025 and 2026, driven by a favorable net interest margin (NIM) trajectory and strong expense management, which has resulted in best-in-class efficiency. Additionally, the bank's impressive return on assets (ROA) of 1.50% and return on equity (ROE) exceeding 15.5% are indicative of its robust profitability and growth potential amid a competitive banking landscape.
Bears say
Servisfirst Bancshares recently reported a loan growth of approximately 2.4%, with a decline in net interest margin (NIM) to 3.09%, primarily impacted by an eight-loan relationship that moved to non-accrual status resulting in an interest reversal. The company missed expectations with a core earnings per share (EPS) of $1.31 against a consensus of $1.34, attributed to weaker net interest income (NII) and increased expenses. Additionally, forward earnings estimates have been lowered due to slower growth projections, which, combined with ongoing credit issues, are likely to exert downward pressure on the stock.
