SMBC Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Southern Missouri Bancorp Inc. has demonstrated robust growth, with tangible book value (TBV) and tangible common equity (TCE) increasing by 4% and 30 basis points quarter-over-quarter, reaching $43.16 and 9.82%, respectively, driven by strong profitability indicated by return on assets (ROA) of 1.23% and return on tangible common equity (ROTCE) of 12.9%. The bank's efficiency ratio is expected to improve significantly to 49% by FY4Q27, bolstered by strong net interest income (NII) growth from the upward repricing of fixed-rate loans and lower funding costs, projecting TCE to rise to 10.3% and 11.3% in FY4Q26 and FY4Q27, respectively. Additionally, projected net interest margin (NIM) expansion, driven by a loan origination weighted average rate of 7.3% and upcoming fixed-rate loan repricings, reinforces a positive outlook on the company’s financial trajectory.
Bears say
Southern Missouri Bancorp is experiencing higher operational risks characterized by slower-than-expected growth in loans, core deposits, and fee income, potentially impacting overall profitability. Despite a reduction in operating expenses to $25.1 million, which was below expectations, ongoing challenges in credit quality and rising operating expenses present significant headwinds for future performance. Furthermore, projections indicate a decline in fiscal year 2026, underscoring persistent uncertainties in achieving anticipated financial stability amidst a complex macroeconomic landscape.
