SMBC Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Southern Missouri Bancorp reported a robust increase in loan balances, achieving a 6% growth quarter over quarter, primarily driven by construction and development loans, as well as single-family residential loans, which saw increases of 48% and 10%, respectively. The company also experienced significant deposit growth of 17% quarter over quarter, indicating broad-based interest from various account types, while credit stability and improved liquidity were noted as deposit growth outpaced loan growth. Despite a slight reduction in the FY26 earnings estimate due to higher provisions and lower fees, the overall outlook remains positive with projected earnings per share growth resuming in 2025 and accelerating further in 2026, with management emphasizing the potential for future net interest income growth.
Bears say
Southern Missouri Bancorp's outlook is negatively affected by anticipated loan growth that is expected to decline to roughly half of Q2's rate, leading to modest net interest margin (NIM) compression and a reduction in the company's net interest income (NII) forecast for FY26. The significant reliance on residential and agricultural lending—accounting for approximately 34% of total loans—exposes the bank to economic downturns and fluctuations in commodity prices, which could further exacerbate credit risks. Additionally, the bank's liability-sensitive position raises concerns over potential increases in interest expenses amidst rising rates, alongside declining bank card interchange fees, which may pressure overall financial performance.
