Finwise Bancorp (FINW) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
FinWise Bancorp has demonstrated robust growth, with the held-for-investment (HFI) loan portfolio increasing by 7.2% to $465 million, driven by strong performance across all commercial loan types, including significant contributions from residential and commercial real estate loans. Additionally, the bank's deposit balances surged by 45.8% quarter-over-quarter, primarily fueled by time deposits, which reflect a solid foundation for funding further loan growth and enhancing liquidity. The outlook is further bolstered by an increase in noninterest income, particularly from improved Small Business Administration loan sales and the solid performance of the bank's legacy strategic programs, indicating potential for continued growth in the coming years.
Bears say
FinWise Bancorp has experienced a 10% decline in loan originations to $1.31 billion, adversely affected by seasonal factors in its student loan program, indicating potential challenges in maintaining growth amid changing market dynamics. The bank's Tangible Common Equity (TCE) ratio has decreased to 23.3%, coupled with a slight increase in the Community Bank Leverage Ratio (CBLR) to 20.6%, reflecting heightened concerns over earnings volatility and asset quality amidst external pressures. Furthermore, increased operating expenses and a core net interest margin decrease to 10.0% signal a diminishing profitability outlook that may be exacerbated by competitive pressures and economic uncertainties.
