What are Wall Street analysts saying about Bancorpsouth Bank stock?

Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Bancorpsouth Bank stock:

1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Shares of BancorpSouth have underperformed the industry over the past six months. Yet, it displays impressive earnings surprise history, having surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three of the trailing four quarters. The fourth-quarter 2019 results reflect higher net revenues, along with nil provisions, partly muted by mounting expenses. Given a strong balance-sheet position, the company has been growing through acquisitions, which helped it diversify sources of fee income and expand its geographical reach. Despite low interest rates, the company’s net interest margin (NIM) is likely to improve due to decent lending. Yet, mounting expenses, due to investments in inorganic growth and digitization efforts, might deter bottom-line growth to some extent. Further, significant exposure toward risky loan portfolios keeps us apprehensive." (1/31/2020)
2. Stephens analysts commented, "We maintain our Equal-Weight rating. KEY POINTS: Positive Takeaways. Core NIM (ex. PAA) expanded 3 bps to 3.74%, above our forecast of 3.71% as +13 bps core loan yield expansion outpaced +11 bps in IB deposit cost increase. Deposits increased 18% LQA which is partially driven by seasonality. The NII beat ($152.6 million vs. our forecast of $151.2 million) was also partially driven by ~$0.5 million LQ increase in purchase accounting. BXS repurchased 1 million shares of common stock (above our forecast of 500k) at a weighted average price of $27.60 per share. Negative Takeaways. Loan was soft growth (-1% LQA below our forecast of +6%) as paydowns in C&I offset growth in CRE. Operating expenses were elevated ($149 million vs. street at $148 million)." (4/18/2019)
