INBK Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
First Internet Bancorp is demonstrating strong financial momentum, highlighted by a significant 10% loan growth quarter-over-quarter and an increase in end-of-period loans held for investment by $135 million. The fintech and banking-as-a-service (BaaS) initiatives are showing promise, with fourth-quarter fintech revenue reaching $880,000 and expectations for efficiency ratio improvement to 58% by the end of 2025, suggesting enhanced operational effectiveness. Additionally, a robust SBA pipeline is projected to target $600 million in loan originations for 2025, indicating strong growth potential in key areas of the business.
Bears say
First Internet Bancorp reported net interest income (NII) of $24.7 million, which was 1% below expectations, with a modest net interest margin (NIM) increase of only 5 basis points to 1.75%. Operating expenses exceeded expectations by 2% to 4%, resulting in an unfavorable efficiency ratio of 67%, compared to the anticipated 63% to 64%. Additionally, the reported operating EPS of $0.41 fell significantly short of consensus estimates, while negative credit trends in the fourth quarter raise concerns over the future performance of the bank's SBA lending segment, contributing to a negative outlook on profitability.
