NBT Bancorp (NBTB) Stock Forecast & Price Target
NBT Bancorp (NBTB) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
NBT Bancorp's financial outlook appears positive due to a notable expansion in its Net Interest Margin (NIM), which reached 3.59%, exceeding consensus estimates, primarily driven by higher yields on average earning assets and total loan yields. The company is also expected to experience additional NIM accretion, potentially benefiting from improved new loan yields and fixed asset repricing, indicating sustained future growth. Furthermore, earnings per share (EPS) expectations have been raised, reflecting a favorable trajectory in net interest income despite the anticipated modest loan growth in 2025.
Bears say
NBT Bancorp Inc. is facing a negative outlook primarily due to a decline in organic loans, which fell by 1% quarter-over-quarter, significantly missing consensus forecasts of 3.2% growth and Davidson's estimate of 2.9%. Furthermore, the company is exposed to potential risks associated with an economic slowdown that could lead to increased credit costs in its loan portfolio, along with execution and pricing risks related to mergers and acquisitions. Despite some regional support from the CHIPS Act, there are concerns that it may not lead to the anticipated improvements in economic growth, which further complicates the company's outlook.
