The headline numbers for Chain Bridge Bancorp, Inc. (CBNA) give insight into how the company performed in the quarter ended June 2025, but it may be worthwhile to compare some of its key metrics to Wall Street estimates and the year-ago actuals.
The recent acquisition will boost the loan balance by 50%. It will also lead to 25% cost savings. The acquisition will hurt the net interest margin, as Cornerstone had a much lower margin than Plumas. I'm expecting an adjusted EPS of $4.25 and an unadjusted EPS of $2.98 for 2025.
First Bancorp has grown deposits and improved asset quality, but revenue and profit growth have been inconsistent over recent years. Recent improvements in net interest income is positive, but years of weak performance temper my enthusiasm. The stock remains expensive on a price-to-earnings basis, even with improved forecasts, making it less attractive for value investors like myself.
Glacier Bancorp's earnings growth is highly visible, driven by M&A activity and the gradual roll-off of low-yielding securities. The Guaranty Bancshares acquisition expands GBCI into Texas, diversifies its loan book, and should be immediately accretive to EPS. Despite strong fundamentals and improving margins, GBCI trades at a significant premium (about 20x forward earnings), already reflecting expected growth.
Ameris Bancorp has outperformed the market since my October 2023 "Buy" rating, but shares are now fairly valued after a 77% run-up. Fundamentals remain solid: deposit growth, rising securities, lower debt, and increasing profits, but asset quality and deposit mix raise some concerns. Valuation multiples are above my preferred thresholds, making the stock less attractive despite being cheaper than most peers on a relative basis.

Old National Bancorp's acquisition of Bremer boosted assets to $70B+, improving loan and securities yields but slightly weakening deposit composition. Q2 2025 results beat EPS and revenue estimates, with net interest income and margin rising sharply, offsetting modest deposit deterioration. Unrealized losses on securities remain but have improved; AOCI and HTM losses now represent a less worrisome 11.5% of equity.
Eagle Bancorp remains a 'sell', due to poor asset quality, weak financial metrics, and underperformance versus the S&P 500, despite low valuation multiples. Overall results have been mixed, especially as of this quarter, with deposits falling and most other metrics worsening as well. Profitability metrics like return on assets and equity are well below industry standards, reflecting fundamental business problems, despite cheap valuation.
