AUB Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Atlantic Union Bankshares Corp demonstrated robust loan growth with a 3% increase in end-of-period loans quarter-over-quarter, driven primarily by commercial and construction lending despite experiencing significant quarterly runoff. The company is projected to enhance its profitability, targeting a return on assets (ROA) of 1.13% and a pre-provision net revenue (PPNR) increase to 1.6% by 2025, reflecting an upward trajectory from previous years. Additionally, strategic acquisitions since 2017 have strengthened its commercial and industrial efforts, while a focus on expense control and growth in December underscores its positive financial outlook in a more challenging interest rate environment.
Bears say
Atlantic Union Bankshares has encountered a decline in net interest margin (NIM), dropping 5 basis points to 3.33%, which falls short of prior estimates, indicating a potential weakness in profitability. Additionally, the bank’s tangible book value (TBV) has decreased by 2% due to an unfavorable funding mix and inadequate performance in interest-bearing (IB) and loan betas. Despite projected improvements following corporate restructuring, the company's current trading multiples reflect a significant undervaluation compared to its high-performing peers, suggesting ongoing concerns about its operational execution and market positioning.
