SmartFinancial (SMBK) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
SmartFinancial Inc. demonstrated notable growth in deposits, which increased by 14.7% on a last quarter annualized basis, along with non-interest-bearing demand deposits rising by 10.8%. The company reported a net interest margin (NIM) improvement of 8 basis points quarter-over-quarter to 3.29%, attributed to higher loan yields, enhancing overall profitability. Additionally, the strong loan growth at 9.5% on a last quarter annualized basis indicates robust demand and effective client relationship management, contributing to a positive financial outlook for the company.
Bears say
SmartFinancial Inc has demonstrated a troubling decline in deposits, which fell seasonally to 5%, leading to an increase in the loans-to-deposits (L/D) ratio to 85%. Additionally, the bank's net interest margin (NIM) has decreased by 4 basis points to 3.25% due to rising deposit costs and new subordinated debt, although there has been a slight improvement in loan yields. These factors contribute to an unfavorable financial outlook, indicating potential difficulties in sustaining profitability and managing funding costs effectively.
