Eos Energy stock falls after Fuzzy Panda issues short report
Investing.com - Piper Sandler reduced its price target on Eagle Bancorp (NASDAQ:EGBN) to $19.00 from $22.00 on Monday, while maintaining a Neutral rating on the stock. The bank, currently trading at $17.36 with a market cap of $524 million, appears undervalued according to InvestingPro analysis.
The price target reduction follows Eagle Bancorp’s third-quarter results, which showed a larger-than-expected loss primarily driven by the bank’s accelerated efforts to address stressed office credits through charge-offs and movement of loans to held-for-sale status in preparation for further loan disposals. InvestingPro data reveals concerning trends, with revenue declining 52% and the bank posting negative returns on assets and equity.
Piper Sandler noted that Eagle Bancorp engaged an independent credit review firm to assist with evaluating its loan portfolio during the quarter, which the research firm viewed as a positive step toward addressing credit quality concerns more quickly rather than allowing a "slow bleed" approach.
The research firm expressed concern that criticized loan inflows continued during the quarter, with multi-family properties emerging as the primary contributor to new problem loans outside the office sector.
Since reporting earnings, Eagle Bancorp shares have declined 10.1% compared to the Nasdaq Bank Index’s 1.5% gain, with Piper Sandler’s new $19 price target reflecting an expectation that shares will trade at approximately 50% of tangible book value per share, down from the previous 55% multiple. The stock currently trades at 0.46 times book value, with InvestingPro analysis showing additional key metrics and insights available for subscribers, including 6 exclusive ProTips and a comprehensive Pro Research Report.
