Prosperity Bancshares ( (PB) ) just unveiled an announcement.
On January 28, 2026, Prosperity Bancshares and Stellar Bancorp announced a definitive agreement under which Prosperity will acquire Stellar and its subsidiary Stellar Bank in a stock-and-cash transaction valued at approximately $2.002 billion, based on Prosperity’s January 27, 2026 closing share price. Stellar, which operates 52 banking offices in the greater Houston, Beaumont and Dallas markets and reported $10.807 billion in assets at year-end 2025, will be merged into Prosperity, followed by the combination of Stellar Bank into Prosperity Bank, with key Stellar executives, including CEO Robert R. Franklin Jr. and President Ramon Vitulli, assuming senior leadership and board roles in the combined organization. The deal, unanimously approved by both boards and expected to close in the second quarter of 2026 subject to regulatory and shareholder approvals, will significantly expand Prosperity’s presence in Houston and other Texas markets and create the second-largest Texas-headquartered bank by deposits, enhancing its scale, franchise strength and competitive positioning in a fast-growing regional economy while preserving a community banking focus for customers and local stakeholders.

Spark’s Take on PB Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, PB is a Outperform.
The score is driven primarily by solid underlying financial profitability and a stable balance sheet, tempered by weakening revenue and cash-flow trends. Valuation is supportive (low P/E and healthy dividend), while technical signals are mixed and the earnings call showed improving margins but ongoing loan-growth and credit-quality pressures.
