Peoples Bancorp (PEBO) Stock Forecast & Price Target
Peoples Bancorp (PEBO) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Peoples Bancorp is expected to see stronger net interest income in the future, driven by favorable net interest margin expansion and a new acquisition with a complementary deposit franchise and excess liquidity. The company has a strong track record for mergers and acquisitions and is well-positioned to cross the $10 billion asset threshold. Risks to achieving its potential include higher expenses and macroeconomic conditions.
Bears say
Peoples Bancorp is generating solid results for 1Q due to increased NII and better credit metrics, but faces challenges in growing loans. The bank's recent acquisition of Citizens National Corporation, valued at 1.18x TBV and 12.7x LTM earnings, may provide potential upsides in the future and help the bank cross the $10B asset threshold, although the transaction is not expected to close until late 3Q/early 4Q. However, the bank intends to remain below $10B this year by selling CZNL's securities portfolio.
