SMBC Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Southern Missouri Bancorp's financial performance indicates a positive outlook, highlighted by a 6% quarter-over-quarter increase in end-of-period (EOP) loan balances, surpassing expectations due to significant growth in construction and development loans, as well as single-family residential loans. The company also experienced a robust 17% growth in EOP deposits, driven by diverse account types, which has contributed to improved liquidity as deposit growth outpaced loan growth. Furthermore, the stability and improvement in asset quality metrics, combined with an upward adjustment in the FY25 earnings forecast, suggest the bank is well-positioned for future net interest income growth and positive earnings per share momentum in the coming years.
Bears say
Southern Missouri Bancorp's outlook is negatively impacted by anticipated loan growth for the upcoming quarter, which is expected to be significantly lower than in the previous quarter, reflecting seasonal trends that could lead to margin pressures. The forecast for fiscal year 2026 sees earnings estimates reduced by 3% and a modest compression in net interest margin (NIM) is anticipated, coupled with elevated liquidity levels and ongoing deposit competition. The bank's vulnerability is compounded by its exposure to credit costs, reduced loan demand, and sector-specific risks like agricultural loan performance and potential merger and acquisition impacts, all of which threaten future earnings stability.
