Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Provident Financial Services stock:
  • 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Provident Financial Services, Inc. is the holding company of The Provident Bank, a community- and customer-oriented banking company. The Provident Bank emphasizes personal service and customer convenience in attending to the financial needs of individuals, families and businesses in northern and central New Jersey. The bank offers a broad array of deposit, loan, trust and investment products. In keeping with its Customer-Centric Strategy. " (1/18/2019)
  • 2. Boenning Scattergood analysts commented, "We remain Neutral on shares of PFS following 3Q18 results. We expect future loan growth in the low-to-mid-single-digit range, slower than some peers, due to a combination of competitive markets, elevated borrower paydown activity, and strict underwriting criteria. The other big issue facing Provident today is the upcoming crossing of the $10 billion regulatory threshold. While recent FinReg reform could soften the impact relative to prior expectations, Durbin is still likely to reduce revenue by approximately $3 million. Shares of Provident currently trade above peers at 13.3x our 2019 EPS estimate (11.5x peer average) and 1.8x TBV (1.6x peer average). Thus, as we weigh the strengths and challenges facing the company today, we view the stock as fairly valued." (10/26/2018)
