Financial Institutions (FISI) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Financial Institutions Inc. has demonstrated a positive growth trajectory, evidenced by a 1.7% quarter-over-quarter increase in loans and a substantial 7% increase in loans year-over-year, particularly driven by commercial and industrial (C&I) and commercial real estate (CRE) sectors. Although there was a decrease in deposits due to seasonal municipal impacts, the company is expected to benefit from improved margins and net interest income, particularly in light of efficiencies gained from the CHIPS Act and increased C&I customer demand. This favorable outlook, combined with an expected rise in profitability indicated by a tangible common equity (TCE) ratio of 8.4%, supports a robust valuation potential, suggesting a positive return in various scenarios.
Bears say
Financial Institutions Inc experienced a significant decline in pre-provision net revenue (PPNR), decreasing approximately 13% quarter-over-quarter to $15.6 million, which fell short of expectations due to underperformance across its components. Additionally, the outlook for revenue appears bleak, driven by slower loan growth and lower net interest margin (NIM), influenced by a conservative reserve build and higher expenses related to non-recurring items. Lastly, the company's early indications for deposit trends show a worrying 15% decline in end-of-period deposits quarter-over-quarter and a historically lower return profile which contributes to a continued discount compared to its peers, further reinforcing concerns about its financial stability.
