Spark’s Take on AMTB Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, AMTB is a Neutral.

The score is driven primarily by improving financial performance (revenue growth, return to profitability, and strong free cash flow conversion), tempered by balance-sheet leverage and rising credit-quality pressure. Technicals are mixed/neutral, while valuation is supportive. Earnings call and recent credit-risk updates add caution due to higher nonperforming assets and credit costs despite strong capital and net interest margin.
