Bulls Say, Bears Say
Bulls Say
Growth ProspectsDespite superior growth prospects, the stock trades at a meaningful discount to peers, indicating potential undervaluation.
Risk/Reward ProfileRisk/reward is seen as positively skewed given capital positioning, superior growth/return potential, potential lift to valuation from a pick-up in bank M&A activity, and a strong management team.
ValuationThe discount valuation looks particularly attractive given the forecast which implies ~18% average annual EPS growth for 2025 and 2026, or nearly twice peer average.
Bears Say
Credit ReservesPersistent concerns tied to credit reserves, potential headwinds to management’s loan/deposit growth target, and fading hopes for a mortgage rebound could continue to weigh on investor sentiment.
Expense GuidanceShares lagged peers by ~300bps after raising FY25 expense guidance, implying a 2% reduction to FY25 PPNR.
Interest RatesElevated interest rates are likely to remain a concern for stock valuation due to impacts on funding costs and perceived credit risk.
