Associated Banc-Corp (ASB) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Associated Banc-Corp has demonstrated positive financial health, with non-performing assets (NPAs) reducing by 8.5% quarter-over-quarter to 0.48% of loans plus other real estate owned (OREO), and net charge-offs (NCOs) being better than forecasted. The bank's organic growth initiatives are showing strong momentum, positioning it for improved returns and operating leverage into the second half of 2025 and into 2026, supported by a favorable balance sheet mix and loan growth. Additionally, management has revised expectations for noninterest income to increase by 5-6% compared to 2024 levels, driven by strong capital markets revenues, underscoring the bank's competitive position and operational consistency relative to its peers.
Bears say
The financial outlook for Associated Banc-Corp is challenged by anticipated growth in noninterest expenses that is expected to exceed revenue growth, which could adversely impact earnings. Additionally, the bank faces significant risks, including potential net interest margin compression, deterioration in asset quality, and increased competition for deposits, all of which could negatively affect revenue generation. Furthermore, a contraction in total deposits by 7.2% and higher-than-expected core expenses illustrate operational challenges that may hinder the bank's financial performance in the near future.
