SMBC Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Southern Missouri Bancorp has demonstrated solid growth in its loan and deposit balances, with a notable 6% increase in end-of-period loan balances and a 17% growth in deposits, surpassing previous forecasts. The bank's credit trends remain stable as liquidity has improved due to the deposit growth outpacing loan growth, indicating a healthy financial position. Furthermore, with expectations of positive earnings per share growth resuming in 2025 and an enhanced net interest income forecast, the outlook for Southern Missouri Bancorp's stock remains favorable.
Bears say
Southern Missouri Bancorp's outlook appears negative primarily due to anticipated loan growth being significantly lower than previous quarters, with management indicating a slowdown to mid-single digits for fiscal year 2025, reflecting a broader weakening in demand. Additionally, core net interest margin (NIM) is expected to experience modest compression due to increased liquidity and ongoing deposit competition, contributing to a projected decrease in net interest income for the upcoming fiscal year. The bank faces several risks, including the vulnerability of its residential and agricultural loan portfolios to economic downturns and commodity fluctuations, alongside potential challenges from interest rate sensitivity and diminished fee income.
