Bears say
Provident Finl Servs is facing challenges in sustaining its growth trajectory from late 2025, leading to stagnant EPS growth and flat NIM in 2026. This, combined with a reasonable valuation, may limit its potential for generating alpha in the near term. The company's profitability metrics are also expected to remain stagnant, with minimal EPS growth and NIM remaining range-bound. While the company's recent strong results and strong deposit growth have led to a modest premium compared to peers, the valuation gap has been narrowing. Additionally, ongoing concerns about CRE concentration have impacted the company's P/forward EPS multiple compared to peers.
