Dividends are one of the best benefits to being a shareholder, but finding a great dividend stock is no easy task. Does OFG (OFG) have what it takes?
Due to Puerto Rico's persistently strong job market, I'm expecting loan growth to remain above last year's level. Risks to loan growth are worsening economic activity and sharply rising home prices. The combination of sticky deposit costs and relatively rate-sensitive loan yields will likely lead to margin pressure in a declining interest rate environment.
OFG Bancorp reported Q2 revenue and earnings beats, driven by strong net interest margins and effective expense control. Loans and deposits grew sequentially, but the stock trades at a steep premium to tangible book value, justifying a hold rating. Asset quality is solid, though allowances for credit losses and nonperforming loans are slightly higher than peers; return metrics improved.
