Guaranty Bancshares (GNTY) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Guaranty Bancshares Inc. demonstrated a positive financial trajectory, as evidenced by an increase in net interest margin (NIM) to 3.16% from 3.11%, aligning with estimates and reflecting improved loan yields that rose to 6.21%. Although non-performing assets (NPAs) increased to 0.93% due to a foreclosure on mixed-use commercial real estate, the company anticipates minimal losses from the eventual sale, underpinning a stable outlook for asset quality. Additionally, end-of-period loan balances rose by 0.5% quarter-over-quarter, primarily driven by growth in commercial real estate and residential loans, indicating robust demand for its banking products and services.
Bears say
Guaranty Bancshares Inc. has experienced a decline in its net interest margin (NIM), which fell to 3.02%—a 17 basis points decrease that was worse than projected, signaling growing profitability challenges. The company’s end-of-period loan balances decreased by 2.4% quarter-over-quarter, with significant contractions observed in its construction and development (C&D) portfolio and multi-family segments, suggesting weakened demand for loans amid a challenging economic backdrop. Furthermore, the diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $0.54 for Q3 2023 fell short of analyst expectations, primarily due to lower net interest income (NII) and reduced fee income, compounding the negative outlook for the company's financial performance.
