Fulton Financial (FULT) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Fulton Financial Corp has demonstrated solid financial health, evidenced by an increase in its Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital ratio to 11.3%, reflecting ample capital flexibility. The improved net interest income (NII) has contributed positively to the company's performance, with NII rising due to a 4 basis points increase in net interest margin (NIM) following a reduction in costs for certificates of deposit (CDs). Additionally, earnings estimates for 2025 have been raised by $0.20 to $2.05, driven by lower credit costs and enhanced NII, reinforcing a favorable outlook for the company.
Bears say
Fulton Financial Corp has experienced a decline in purchase accounting accretion, decreasing from $13.1 million in the prior quarter to $11.4 million this quarter, suggesting challenges in revenue generation that may persist within the expected range of $11-$12 million. Additionally, average loans fell by 2% while ending-of-period loans showed only a minimal increase of 3%, indicating potential weaknesses in loan demand that could hinder growth. The overall sentiment is further compounded by ongoing risks related to credit costs, reduced loan demand, and margin pressures, exacerbated by economic uncertainties in the post-COVID-19 landscape, which collectively contribute to a negative outlook on the stock.
