South State (SSB) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
SouthState Bank Corp has demonstrated strong loan production metrics, with a quarterly increase to $3.4 billion and significant growth in loan production in Texas and Colorado, which rose by 67% year-to-date. The bank's estimates for earnings in 2025 and 2026 have been revised upward due to a positive performance in the third quarter and expectations for stronger fee income, alongside a notable increase in the loan pipeline to $1.2 billion in its legacy footprint. Furthermore, improvements in core PPNR, lower expenses, and a favorable forecast for net loan growth support a positive outlook for SouthState Bank's stock performance.
Bears say
The analysis of SouthState Bank Corp reveals several fundamental concerns contributing to a negative outlook. A projected decline in return on tangible common equity (ROTCE), ranging from 17.4% in 2026 to 16.4% in 2027, coupled with slowing year-over-year earnings per share growth due to the early recognition of deal-related income, indicates potential challenges in sustaining profitability. Additionally, risks such as significant economic deterioration in core markets, credit quality deterioration, and competitive pressure on loan pricing may further hinder earnings performance and lead to increased volatility in stock price.
