Bridgewater Bancshares (BWB) Stock Forecast & Price Target
Bridgewater Bancshares (BWB) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Bridgewater Bancshares Inc. has demonstrated strong financial performance, with spread income increasing by 5.3% to $27.0 million, surpassing previous estimates, and a notable rise in net interest margin (NIM) to 2.32%. The company has observed heightened loan demand and healthy growth in organic loans and core deposits, positioning itself for mid to high single-digit growth in the upcoming years. Additionally, the improvement in credit metrics, including near-zero non-performing assets, underscores the company’s robust financial health and operational efficiency, contributing to a positive outlook for its stock.
Bears say
The analysis of Bridgewater Bancshares Inc indicates a negative outlook primarily due to the sequential decline in tangible book value (TBV) and tangible common equity (TCE), which reflect a weakening financial position following the closure of FMCB. Furthermore, the company's significant exposure to commercial real estate, comprising over one-third of its loan portfolio, poses a risk, particularly in light of potential downturns in the commercial real estate market that could adversely affect operating performance. Additionally, challenges such as slower loan and deposit growth, credit quality concerns, elevated operating expenses, and broader macroeconomic factors further contribute to the negative financial sentiment surrounding the company.
