Peapack-Gladstone Financial ( (PGC) ) has provided an update.

On April 22, 2026, Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation reported strong first quarter 2026 results that underscored the momentum of its private banking strategy and expansion across the Metropolitan New York region. Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 rose to $14.2 million, or $0.80 per diluted share, up 16% from the prior quarter and 86% from the same period in 2025, driven by higher net interest income, improved net interest margin, and disciplined expense growth.

Total revenue increased 28% year-over-year to $82.5 million, with net interest income climbing to $59.9 million and net interest margin expanding to 3.26%, reflecting growth in interest-earning assets, lower funding costs, and a stronger mix of core deposits. Loans reached $6.4 billion and deposits $6.8 billion, with meaningful contributions from commercial mortgages, C&I lending, and noninterest-bearing deposits, while wealth management fee income rose to $16.5 million and assets under management and administration held at $13.1 billion despite market volatility.

During the quarter, the company also fortified its capital base through a commitment by Strategic Value Bank Partners to purchase up to $50 million of preferred stock, including an initial $30 million private placement that closed in March 2026. Management emphasized that this capital raise supports continued balance-sheet growth, geographic and business-line expansion, and the ability to maintain targeted capital levels, positioning Peapack-Gladstone to pursue risk-adjusted growth and deliver higher returns to shareholders.

The most recent analyst rating on (PGC) stock is a Buy with a $41.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Peapack-Gladstone Financial stock, see the PGC Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on PGC Stock

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

The score is anchored by a solid but cooling financial profile: revenue growth and profitability persist, but margins and cash generation weakened in 2024–2025. Technicals are supportive with an established uptrend, while valuation looks reasonable at ~13x earnings but with a low dividend yield. Corporate actions are a modest positive, improving capital flexibility and potentially lowering funding costs.
