Cullen/Frost Bankers (CFR) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Cullen/Frost Bankers, with approximately $50 billion in assets, is benefiting from a strong relationship-based banking strategy that has established a significant market share in San Antonio and is now expanding into Houston, Dallas, and Austin. The bank is expecting average deposit growth of 2-3% in 2025, accompanied by a positive monthly net interest income (NII) impact of approximately $1.8 million from any rate cut that does not occur. Additionally, while noninterest expenses are anticipated to grow at a high-single digit percentage on a GAAP basis, the bank's focused expansion and deposit growth provide a solid foundation for future financial performance.
Bears say
Cullen/Frost Bankers faces several challenges that contribute to a negative outlook, including the potential for higher nonperforming assets and net charge-offs amidst an economic slowdown, which could significantly impact net income and EPS estimates. The compression in the spread between short-term and long-term interest rates, as well as the risk of an inverted yield curve, presents additional headwinds for the bank's earnings, threatening its net interest margin. Moreover, the increasingly competitive landscape may compel Cullen/Frost to pursue acquisitions, which introduces additional execution risk and may strain financial resources.
