Ameriserv Financial ( (ASRV) ) just unveiled an announcement.

On January 6, 2026, AmeriServ Financial Inc. amended and restated its April 2025 consulting agreement with SB Value Partners, significantly expanding the scope and duration of SBV’s advisory role in business development, performance metrics, and shareholder relations across AmeriServ’s banking and wealth management operations. The revised deal extends the partnership through April 15, 2029, adds dedicated senior SBV personnel on site for intensive “Phase II” consulting, and compensates SBV with newly issued AmeriServ stock and cash fees—raising SBV’s ownership to about 9.7% of outstanding shares—while locking up those holdings for several years and giving the bank repurchase rights, moves that deepen SBV’s influence as both a major shareholder and strategic partner as AmeriServ seeks to scale its wealth management business, including its new alliance with Federated Hermes.

The most recent analyst rating on (ASRV) stock is a Hold with a $3.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Ameriserv Financial stock, see the ASRV Stock Forecast page.
