SFNC Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Simmons First National Corp demonstrated positive financial performance, highlighted by an increase in net interest margin (NIM) by 3 basis points quarter-over-quarter to 2.69%, surpassing earlier estimates. Additionally, net interest income (NII) rose to $161 million, exceeding consensus expectations, primarily fueled by an expansion in core loan yields. The company's loan portfolio also showed resilience, with end-of-period loans growing by 5% quarter-on-quarter, alongside a slight improvement in non-performing assets (NPAs) as a percentage of loans, which declined to 0.62%.
Bears say
Simmons First National Corp's overall financial outlook is negatively impacted by a 3% decline in unfunded commitments, alongside persistent pressures on net interest income that adversely affect earnings per share (EPS) estimates. The company's non-interest-bearing deposits have also experienced a marginal decrease of 0.6% quarter-over-quarter, signaling potential weaknesses in liquidity and depositor confidence. Furthermore, challenges related to Purchase Accounting Accretion and the risks associated with ongoing mergers and acquisitions may hinder future profitability and earnings growth, further dampening investor sentiment and valuation.
