NBT Bancorp (NBTB) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
NBT Bancorp demonstrated strong financial performance, highlighted by a net interest margin (NIM) of 3.59%, which exceeded market expectations and increased by 15 basis points quarter-over-quarter. This improvement was driven by higher average earning asset yields and total loan yields, which saw increases of 17 basis points and 15 basis points, respectively, while costs of funds and deposit costs rose at a slower rate. Additionally, expectations for further gradual NIM expansion and improved earnings per share (EPS) projections indicate a positive growth trajectory for the company amid modest loan growth outlooks.
Bears say
NBT Bancorp's organic loans experienced a decline of 1% quarter-over-quarter on an annualized basis, significantly missing consensus growth expectations of 3.2% and 2.9% from Davidson, primarily due to decreases in residential real estate and commercial real estate segments. Furthermore, potential risks associated with an economic slowdown could lead to increased credit costs within its loan portfolio, along with execution and pricing risks in mergers and acquisitions that may adversely impact future performance. Lastly, despite regional incentives like the CHIPS Act, the anticipated economic growth benefits have not materialized, contributing to a negative outlook for the company's financial stability.
