Provident Financial Services ( (PFS) ) has shared an announcement.
Provident Financial Services, Inc. reported strong fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 results, with net income rising to $83.4 million, or $0.64 per share, for the three months ended December 31, 2025, up from $48.5 million, or $0.37 per share, a year earlier, and full-year net income more than doubling to $291.2 million, or $2.23 per share, from $115.5 million, or $1.05 per share, in 2024. The improvement was driven by a full year of combined operations with Lakeland Bancorp, the absence of prior-year merger and CECL charges, record revenue of $225.7 million for a third straight quarter, modest net interest margin expansion, and growth in commercial loans and core deposits, while asset quality improved and tangible book value per share increased; the company also secured additional tax benefits through the purchase of energy production tax credits and set May 21, 2026, as the date for its virtual annual meeting of stockholders.
The most recent analyst rating on (PFS) stock is a Buy with a $24.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Provident Financial Services stock, see the PFS Stock Forecast page.
Spark’s Take on PFS Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, PFS is a Outperform.
The score is driven mainly by solid financial performance (strong margins and cash generation despite revenue softness) and supportive technicals (uptrend with neutral momentum). Valuation adds a meaningful boost due to the low P/E and high dividend yield, while the earnings call was broadly positive but flagged competitive and prepayment headwinds.
