Amerant Bancorp ( (AMTB) ) has issued an announcement.
On January 22, 2026, Amerant Bancorp reported fourth-quarter 2025 net income of $2.7 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, sharply lower than the prior quarter, as the bank absorbed higher non-interest expenses and ongoing credit normalization tied to strategic actions to improve risk selection and operational efficiency. For full-year 2025, however, Amerant swung to a net profit of $52.4 million, or $1.26 per diluted share, from a $15.8 million loss in 2024, supported by stronger net interest income, improved net interest margin and higher pre-provision net revenue, even as non-performing assets and classified loans rose and the allowance for credit losses decreased. The board declared a $0.09 per share dividend payable February 27, 2026, and approved a new Class A share repurchase program of up to $40 million through December 31, 2026, signaling confidence in the company’s capital position and long-term strategy despite near-term pressure on asset quality and profitability metrics such as efficiency ratio, ROA and ROE.
The most recent analyst rating on (AMTB) stock is a Hold with a $22.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Amerant Bancorp stock, see the AMTB Stock Forecast page.
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.
