SBCF Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Seacoast Banking Corp of Florida has demonstrated a notable improvement in its core net interest margin (NIM), which expanded 5 basis points quarter-over-quarter to 3.29%, surpassing prior expectations. This enhancement in NIM is reflective of the company's effective management strategies and increased levels of fair value accretion. Consequently, the firm's profitability outlook has strengthened, with the return on assets (ROA) forecast for 2026 rising significantly to approximately 1.30%, up from 1.10%.
Bears say
Seacoast Banking has experienced a concerning decline in deposits, falling by 2% quarter-over-quarter during a seasonally challenging period, which has resulted in a loan-to-deposit ratio that now stands at 85%. Additionally, there are significant integration risks associated with the recent acquisitions of Heartland and Villages, alongside the possibility of loan growth not meeting expectations, which could adversely impact net interest margin (NIM) and net interest income (NII) forecasts. Furthermore, while Seacoast Banking maintains strong capital levels, increased credit costs emerging in the broader industry may present further headwinds that could affect the company's financial performance.
