Monday - DA Davidson has adjusted its stock price target for BayCom Corp (NASDAQ: NASDAQ:BCML), reducing it to $25.00 from the previous $26.00 while maintaining a Buy rating on the stock. The firm's analyst cited the company's spread income and earnings per share (EPS) falling short of expectations due to net interest margin (NIM) compression.
This compression was attributed to increased deposit costs towards the end of the cycle, despite BayCom's relatively low cycle-to-date deposit beta of 24%.
BayCom's recent financial performance has been affected by several factors. The company has experienced challenges in revenue and growth within the current economic environment. This has led to a continued effort by BayCom to manage overhead costs effectively.
The analyst from DA Davidson noted that BayCom is likely to keep up its share repurchase activities, especially when its shares trade below tangible book value (TBV).
In light of the modest prospects for loan growth and mergers and acquisitions (M&A) opportunities, the company's strategy also includes a focus on reducing overhead costs. These measures are part of BayCom's response to the difficult revenue and growth conditions it faces.
The analyst's commentary reflects the view that despite the near-term challenges, there remains confidence in the company's strategies. This includes share repurchases and cost management initiatives that are expected to support its financial standing.
DA Davidson's revised stock price target of $25.00 for BayCom reflects a slight adjustment based on the recent developments affecting the company's financial performance. The Buy rating indicates that the firm still sees potential in BayCom's stock despite the current challenges.
