EFSC Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Enterprise Financial Services Corporation has demonstrated an improvement in its earnings credit rate, indicating a positive trend in profitability despite an increase in deposit costs associated with successful business expansion. Additionally, the increase in non-performing assets (NPAs) to $113.2 million reflects a rising percentage of loans and OREO at 100 basis points; however, this could be contextualized within the broader growth of the loan portfolio. While expenses are anticipated to rise due to ongoing growth in specialty deposit verticals, this investment in growth positions the company favorably for future financial performance.
Bears say
Enterprise Financial Services Corporation experienced a quarterly decline of 4% in pre-provision net revenue (PPNR), which fell to $68.7 million despite a slight beat on estimates due to increased net interest income and fee income being partially offset by rising expenses. Moreover, the company is facing expectations of a marginal decrease in fee income in the upcoming quarters, attributed to elevated gains from SBA loan sales. Additionally, the reported modest growth in loans alongside a decline in deposits raises concerns about the company's overall financial health and sustainability.
