Midland States Bancrop ( (MSBI) ) has issued an update.

On November 28, 2025, Midland States Bank sold most of its equipment finance portfolio to an affiliate of North Mill Equipment Finance LLC for $502 million in cash.

Spark’s Take on MSBI Stock

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

The overall stock score is primarily influenced by stable financial performance, particularly in cash flow generation and leverage management. However, the negative P/E ratio and bearish technical indicators weigh heavily on the score. The high dividend yield is a positive aspect but is overshadowed by the company’s operational challenges and weak market momentum.
