First Bank (FRBA) Stock Forecast & Price Target
First Bank (FRBA) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
First Bank is a full-service commercial bank in New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania, with a focus between New York City and Philadelphia. While 1Q26 was a difficult quarter for FRBA, they are on track for growth through strategic M&A and have a strong core deposit franchise. Shares are currently undervalued at 93% of TBVPS and just 8x the 2027E EPS, making it an attractive investment opportunity.
Bears say
First Bank is facing challenges in restoring confidence in its credit as it deals with issues in its small business portfolio, resulting in higher provisions for credit losses. Moreover, the bank is also facing deposit pricing pressure, leading to flat-to-down net interest margin. In addition, its asset quality may continue to deteriorate, which could also impact earnings growth. Currently, it lacks any catalyst for outperformance and consistently trades at a discount to its peers.
