Timberland Bancorp: Strong Loan Book Means The Stock Is A Buy
Timberland Bancorp boasts a robust balance sheet, low loan delinquencies, and consistent tangible book value growth due to high earnings retention. Earnings remain strong with a well-covered dividend (30% payout ratio) and ongoing share buybacks, supporting per-share performance. The loan book is high quality, with minimal past due loans and strong coverage ratios, especially in commercial real estate.
Valley National Bancorp: Upgrading 8.2% Yielding Preferred Shares On Better Performance
Valley National Bancorp's improved net interest margin and lower loan-to-deposit ratio have strengthened its financial position. Despite ongoing concerns about commercial real estate exposure and below-average loan loss reserves, recent trends are encouraging. Deposit growth now outpaces loan growth, reducing reliance on external funding and stabilizing net interest income.
Valley National Bancorp: Potentially Undervalued, But Still Not A Buy
VLY has improved its CRE loan concentration, but management's unwillingness to reduce it below 300% keeps the bank too cyclical for my taste. Net interest margin is rising, aided by lower deposit costs, but limited deposit growth restricts further loan expansion and earnings upside. The dividend yield is high but lacks growth and is threatened by dilution, making VLY unattractive for long-term passive income investors.
Northeast Community Bancorp Remains Deeply Undervalued
Northeast Community Bancorp remains a 'strong buy' due to its attractive valuation and robust asset quality, despite recent mixed financial results. NECB shares are still incredibly cheap, trading at a P/E of 5.7, below industry peers, and boasting strong price-to-book and price-to-tangible-book ratios. Asset quality is excellent, with high returns on assets and equity, and minimal non-performing loans, outperforming comparable banks.
East West Bancorp: A Top-Tier Californian Bank
East West Bancorp has a solid track record of creating wealth for shareholders, and has comfortably outperformed the S&P 500 over the long run. Related to this, East West enjoys peer-leading efficiency and profitability. The stock looks attractively valued at 11.4x consensus 2025 EPS and 1.87x tangible book value per share.
The Bancorp: Despite Some Setbacks, This Name Offers Upside
The Bancorp's unique fintech focus and growth in deposits and loans support a soft 'Buy' rating despite recent underperformance vs. the S&P 500. Asset quality remains strong, with low uninsured deposit exposure and high returns on assets and equity, offsetting some valuation concerns. Risks include a material weakness in internal controls and credit losses in consumer fintech loans, but management is addressing these issues.
Horizon Bancorp: Earnings Catalysts Include Rate Cuts, Buy
Horizon Bancorp's biggest loan growth catalyst is Indiana's strengthening economy. Headwinds include scheduled runoffs in the auto portfolio and Michigan's struggling economy. HBNC's net interest margin is inversely proportional to the Fed funds rate; hence, it will benefit from upcoming rate cuts. I'm now expecting an EPS of $1.87 for 2025.
