Bridgewater Bancshares (BWB) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Bridgewater Bancshares Inc has demonstrated a solid financial performance with a reported spread income increase of 5.3% to $27.0 million, surpassing estimates, and positioning the bank for continued growth. The company's loan demand has seen a resurgence, leading to expectations of mid to high single-digit growth in 2025, alongside significant organic loan and core deposit growth. Additionally, improvements in net interest margin (NIM) and credit metrics, alongside a strong performance in pre-provision net revenue (PPNR), underline the bank's favorable operational trends as it continues to expand its market presence and enhance efficiencies.
Bears say
Bridgewater Bancshares Inc. has reported a decline in tangible book value (TBV) and tangible common equity (TCE), indicating a weakened financial position following the closure of FMCB, with TBV down 3% sequentially to $13.49 and TCE decreasing by 81 basis points to 7.36%. Additionally, the company's significant exposure to commercial real estate, comprising over one-third of its loan book, poses a risk in the event of a downturn in that market, potentially impacting overall operating performance. Lastly, various macroeconomic factors, such as slower loan growth, credit quality deterioration, and elevated operating expenses, further raise concerns about the company's ability to meet its financial and strategic objectives.
