Are You Looking for a High-Growth Dividend Stock? | FMP Stock News | |
|
Original source text
Whether it's through stocks, bonds, ETFs, or other types of securities, all investors love seeing their portfolios score big returns. But when you're an income investor, your primary focus is generating consistent cash flow from each of your liquid investments.While cash flow can come from bond interest or interest from other types of investments, income investors hone in on dividends. A dividend is that coveted distribution of a company's earnings paid out to shareholders, and investors often view it by its dividend yield, a metric that measures the dividend as a percent of the current stock price. Many academic studies show that dividends account for significant portions of long-term returns, with dividend contributions exceeding one-third of total returns in many cases. Brixmor Property (BRX - Free Report) is headquartered in New York, and is in the Finance sector. The stock has seen a price change of 12.01% since the start of the year. Currently paying a dividend of $0.62 per share, the company has a dividend yield of 4.19%. In comparison, the REIT and Equity Trust - Retail industry's yield is 4.12%, while the S&P 500's yield is 1.41%. Looking at dividend growth, the company's current annualized dividend of $1.23 is up 7% from last year. Over the last 5 years, Brixmor Property has increased its dividend 5 times on a year-over-year basis for an average annual increase of 7.56%. Looking ahead, future dividend growth will be dependent on earnings growth and payout ratio, which is the proportion of a company's annual earnings per share that it pays out as a dividend. Brixmor's current payout ratio is 51%, meaning it paid out 51% of its trailing 12-month EPS as dividend. Looking at this fiscal year, BRX expects solid earnings growth. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2026 is $2.35 per share, representing a year-over-year earnings growth rate of 4.44%. Investors like dividends for a variety of different reasons, from tax advantages and decreasing overall portfolio risk to considerably improving stock investing profits. It's important to keep in mind that not all companies provide a quarterly payout. For instance, it's a rare occurrence when a tech start-up or big growth business offers its shareholders a dividend. It's more common to see larger companies with more established profits give out dividends. Income investors must be conscious of the fact that high-yielding stocks tend to struggle during periods of rising interest rates. That said, they can take comfort from the fact that BRX is not only an attractive dividend play, but is also a compelling investment opportunity with a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy). |

The Company's Supplemental Disclosure will be posted at https://www.brixmor.com in the Investors section. These materials are also available to all interested parties upon request to the Company at [email protected] or 800.468.7526. NON-GAAP PERFORMANCE MEASURES The Company presents the non-GAAP performance measures set forth below. These measures should not be considered as alternatives to, or more meaningful than, net income (calculated in accordance with GAAP) or other GAAP financial measures, as an indicator of financial performance and are not alternatives to, or more meaningful than, cash flow from operating activities (calculated in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of liquidity. Non-GAAP performance measures have limitations as they do not include all items of income and expense that affect operations, and accordingly, should always be considered as supplemental financial results to those calculated in accordance with GAAP. The Company's computation of these non-GAAP performance measures may differ in certain respects from the methodology utilized by other REITs and, therefore, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by such other REITs. Investors are cautioned that items excluded from these non-GAAP performance measures are relevant to understanding and addressing financial performance. A reconciliation of net income to these non-GAAP performance measures is presented in the attached tables. Nareit FFO Nareit FFO is a supplemental, non-GAAP performance measure utilized to evaluate the operating and financial performance of real estate companies. Nareit defines FFO as net income (calculated in accordance with GAAP) excluding (i) depreciation and amortization related to real estate, (ii) gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets, (iii) gains and losses from change in control, (iv) impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity and (v) after adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. Considering the nature of its business as a real estate owner and operator, the Company believes that Nareit FFO is useful to investors in measuring its operating and financial performance because the definition excludes items included in net income (calculated in accordance with GAAP) that do not relate to or are not indicative of the Company's operating and financial performance, such as depreciation and amortization related to real estate, and items which can make periodic and peer analyses of operating and financial performance more difficult, such as gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets and impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets. Same Property NOI Same property NOI is a supplemental, non-GAAP performance measure utilized to evaluate the operating performance of real estate companies. Same property NOI is calculated (using properties owned for the entirety of both periods and excluding properties under development and completed new development properties that have been stabilized for less than one year) as total property revenues (base rent, expense reimbursements, adjustments for revenues deemed uncollectible, ancillary and other rental income, percentage rents, and other revenues) less direct property operating expenses (operating costs and real estate taxes). Same property NOI excludes (i) lease termination fees, (ii) straight-line rental income, net, (iii) accretion of below-market leases, net of amortization of above-market leases and tenant inducements, (iv) straight-line ground rent expense, net, (v) income or expense associated with the Company's captive insurance company, (vi) depreciation and amortization, (vii) impairment of real estate assets, (viii) general and administrative expense, and (ix) other income and expense (including interest expense and gain on sale of real estate assets). Considering the nature of its business as a real estate owner and operator, the Company believes that NOI is useful to investors in measuring the operating performance of its portfolio because the definition excludes various items included in net income that do not relate to, or are not indicative of, the operating performance of the Company's properties, such as lease termination fees, straight-line rental income, net, income or expense associated with the Company's captive insurance company, accretion of below-market leases, net of amortization of above-market leases and tenant inducements, straight-line ground rent expense, net, depreciation and amortization, impairment of real estate assets, general and administrative expense, and other income and expense (including interest expense and gain on sale of real estate assets). The Company believes that same property NOI is also useful to investors because it further eliminates disparities in NOI by only including NOI of properties owned for the entirety of both periods presented and excluding properties under development and completed new development properties that have been stabilized for less than one year and therefore provides a more consistent metric for comparing the operating performance of the Company's real estate between periods. Net Principal Debt to Adjusted EBITDA, current quarter annualized & Net Principal Debt to Adjusted EBITDA, trailing twelve months Net principal debt to adjusted EBITDA, current quarter annualized and net principal debt to adjusted EBITDA, trailing twelve months are supplemental non-GAAP measures utilized to evaluate the performance of real estate companies in relation to outstanding debt. Net principal debt is calculated as Debt obligations, net (calculated in accordance with GAAP) excluding net unamortized premium or discount and deferred financing fees less cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as the sum of net income (calculated in accordance with GAAP) before non-controlling interests excluding (i) interest expense, (ii) federal and state taxes, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets, (v) gains and losses from change in control, (vi) impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity, (vii) gain (loss) on extinguishment of debt, net, and (viii) other items that the Company believes are not indicative of the Company's operating performance. Net principal debt to adjusted EBITDA, current quarter annualized and net principal debt to adjusted EBITDA, trailing twelve months are calculated as net principal debt divided by quarterly annualized adjusted EBITDA or trailing twelve month adjusted EBITDA, respectively. Considering the nature of its business as a real estate owner and operator, the Company believes that net principal debt to adjusted EBITDA, current quarter annualized and net principal debt to adjusted EBITDA, trailing twelve months are useful to investors in measuring its operating performance because they exclude items included in net income (calculated in accordance with GAAP) that do not relate to or are not indicative of the operating performance of the Company's real estate, are widely known and understood measures of performance, independent of a company's capital structure and items which can make periodic and peer analyses of performance more difficult, and can provide investors with a more consistent basis by which to compare the Company with its peers.

Brixmor Property (BRX) Surpasses Q1 FFO and Revenue Estimates | FMP Stock News | |
|
Original source text
Brixmor Property (BRX - Free Report) came out with quarterly funds from operations (FFO) of $0.58 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.57 per share. This compares to FFO of $0.56 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.This quarterly report represents an FFO surprise of +1.17%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this owner and operator of shopping centers would post FFO of $0.57 per share when it actually produced FFO of $0.58, delivering a surprise of +1.75%. Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus FFO estimates three times. Brixmor, which belongs to the Zacks REIT and Equity Trust - Retail industry, posted revenues of $354.82 million for the quarter ended March 2026, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 1.91%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $337.51 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates four times over the last four quarters. The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future FFO expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call. Brixmor shares have added about 15.8% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 4.7%. What's Next for Brixmor?While Brixmor has outperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock? There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's FFO outlook. Not only does this include current consensus FFO expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately. Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of estimate revisions. Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Brixmor was mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here. It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus FFO estimate is $0.59 on $351.54 million in revenues for the coming quarter and $2.35 on $1.41 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year. Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, REIT and Equity Trust - Retail is currently in the top 26% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1. American Assets Trust (AAT - Free Report) , another stock in the same industry, has yet to report results for the quarter ended March 2026. The results are expected to be released on April 28. This real estate investment trust is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.51 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -1.9%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days. American Assets Trust's revenues are expected to be $108.86 million, up 0.2% from the year-ago quarter. |

The Retail Bogeyman Has Been Slain | FMP Stock News | |

Original source text
Brick-and-mortar retail REITs are fundamentally strong as E-commerce market share plateaus near 16.4%, with omnichannel strategies driving coexistence. Rising shipping and return costs, reduced subsidies, and a pivot to service-oriented tenants have increased the value of physical retail space. Shopping center REITs like BRX and KIM benefit from limited new supply, strong leasing spreads, and landlord-favored negotiations. |

5 Goldman Sachs Top Picks for May Are Safe, Pay Dividends With Double-Digit Upside | FMP Stock News | |
|
Original source text
Founded in 1869, Goldman Sachs is the world’s second-largest investment bank by revenue and is ranked 82nd on the Fortune 500 list of the largest U.S. corporations by total revenue. The Wall Street white-glove firm offers financing, advisory services, risk distribution, and hedging for the firm’s institutional and corporate clients. In addition, they produce some of Wall Street’s most coveted research and serve as a bellwether for the financial industry. Goldman Sachs maintains its status as Wall Street’s premier firm through its undisputed leadership across virtually every major category. Over the 15 years we have covered the firm, it has remained the go-to Wall Street bank for almost every financial need.The Goldman Sachs Conviction List is a curated list of stocks that the firm’s research team believes are highly likely to outperform the market. It’s a tool for investors to identify stocks with strong growth potential and is frequently updated to reflect changes in market conditions and company performance. The list aims to identify stocks where Goldman Sachs analysts have the “highest level of conviction” in their outperformance. With the stock market once again posting new all-time highs despite a very dicey geopolitical state around the world, inflation on the rise, and the potential for no interest rate cuts until 2027, it makes sense to follow the safest Goldman Sachs Conviction List ideas from the May list. Five top companies are standouts in their sectors, pay reliable dividends, and have double-digit upside to the Goldman Sachs targets. Why we recommend Goldman Sachs stocks Goldman Sachs Research ranks among the best for its unmatched breadth—covering over 3,000 securities, 45+ economies, and all major markets—and rigorous, data-driven analysis. The team delivers thousands of proprietary forecasts, models, and unique indicators, backed by top-tier global analysts and innovative thought leadership on macro, industries, and trends, earning consistent recognition as a trusted resource for institutional and high-net-worth investors.

Brixmor Property (BRX) Could Be a Great Choice | FMP Stock News | |
|
Original source text
Whether it's through stocks, bonds, ETFs, or other types of securities, all investors love seeing their portfolios score big returns. However, when you're an income investor, your primary focus is generating consistent cash flow from each of your liquid investments.While cash flow can come from bond interest or interest from other types of investments, income investors hone in on dividends. A dividend is the distribution of a company's earnings paid out to shareholders; it's often viewed by its dividend yield, a metric that measures a dividend as a percent of the current stock price. Many academic studies show that dividends make up large portions of long-term returns, and in many cases, dividend contributions surpass one-third of total returns. Brixmor Property (BRX - Free Report) is headquartered in New York, and is in the Finance sector. The stock has seen a price change of 13.81% since the start of the year. The owner and operator of shopping centers is paying out a dividend of $0.31 per share at the moment, with a dividend yield of 4.12% compared to the REIT and Equity Trust - Retail industry's yield of 3.94% and the S&P 500's yield of 1.41%. Looking at dividend growth, the company's current annualized dividend of $1.23 is up 7% from last year. Over the last 5 years, Brixmor Property has increased its dividend 5 times on a year-over-year basis for an average annual increase of 7.56%. Looking ahead, future dividend growth will be dependent on earnings growth and payout ratio, which is the proportion of a company's annual earnings per share that it pays out as a dividend. Brixmor's current payout ratio is 54%, meaning it paid out 54% of its trailing 12-month EPS as dividend. Earnings growth looks solid for BRX for this fiscal year. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2026 is $2.36 per share, with earnings expected to increase 4.89% from the year ago period. Investors like dividends for many reasons; they greatly improve stock investing profits, decrease overall portfolio risk, and carry tax advantages, among others. However, not all companies offer a quarterly payout. For instance, it's a rare occurrence when a tech start-up or big growth business offers its shareholders a dividend. It's more common to see larger companies with more established profits give out dividends. Income investors have to be mindful of the fact that high-yielding stocks tend to struggle during periods of rising interest rates. With that in mind, BRX is a compelling investment opportunity. Not only is it a strong dividend play, but the stock currently sits at a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold). |

Is the Options Market Predicting a Spike in Brixmor Property Stock? | FMP Stock News | |
|
Original source text
Investors in Brixmor Property Group Inc. (BRX - Free Report) need to pay close attention to the stock based on moves in the options market lately. That is because the Jun 18, 2026 $20 Call had some of the highest implied volatility of all equity options today.What is Implied Volatility?Implied volatility shows how much movement the market is expecting in the future. Options with high levels of implied volatility suggest that investors in the underlying stocks are expecting a big move in one direction or the other. It could also mean there is an event coming up soon that may cause a big rally or a huge sell-off. However, implied volatility is only one piece of the puzzle when putting together an options trading strategy. What do the Analysts Think?Clearly, options traders are pricing in a big move for Brixmor Property shares, but what is the fundamental picture for the company? Currently, Brixmor Property is a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) in the REIT and Equity Trust – Retail industry that ranks in the Top 43% of our Zacks Industry Rank. Over the last 30 days, no analysts have increased their earnings estimates for the current quarter, while two analysts have revised their estimates downward. The net effect has taken our Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current quarter from 59 cents per share to 58 cents in that period. Given the way analysts feel about Brixmor Property right now, this huge implied volatility could mean there’s a trade developing. Oftentimes, options traders look for options with high levels of implied volatility to sell premium. This is a strategy many seasoned traders use because it captures decay. At expiration, the hope for these traders is that the underlying stock does not move as much as originally expected. |

F.N.B. Corporation Reports First Quarter 2026 Earnings | FMP Stock News | |
|
Original source text
Revenue Growth of 9.4% Drove an 18.8% Increase in Diluted EPS and 11.4% Growth in Tangible Book Value per Share (non-GAAP) from the First Quarter of 2025, /PRNewswire/ -- F.N.B. Corporation (NYSE: FNB) reported earnings for the first quarter of 2026 with net income of $137.0 million, or $0.38 per diluted common share. Comparatively, first quarter 2025 net income totaled $116.5 million, or $0.32 per diluted common share, and fourth quarter of 2025 net income totaled $168.7 million, or $0.47 per diluted common share. On an operating basis, there were no significant items impacting earnings for the first quarters of 2026 and 2025. By comparison, fourth quarter 2025 earnings per diluted common share on an operating basis (non-GAAP) was $0.50, excluding $16.6 million (pre-tax) of significant items impacting earnings. "F.N.B. Corporation's first quarter earnings increased 19% from the year-ago quarter to $0.38 per diluted common share. Pre-provision net revenue (non-GAAP) increased 17% as we generated positive operating leverage of 5% with continued solid non-interest income generation and growth in net interest income," said F.N.B. Corporation Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Vincent J. Delie, Jr. "Our key performance metrics and capital ratios remain strong with return on average tangible common equity (non-GAAP) equaling 13.2% and tangible book value per share (non-GAAP) of $12.06, an increase of 11% from the year-ago-quarter. Our Company's sustained superior financial performance, investments in a resilient risk management framework and a strong balance sheet have provided FNB with flexibility to efficiently deploy capital to benefit our shareholders. As we previously announced, we increased our quarterly cash dividend 8% to $0.13 per share and authorized a new share repurchase program with a total of $300 million now available for repurchase. FNB's award-winning digital and data analytics capabilities, including the eStore®, as well as investments in our Advisory and Capital Markets businesses and differentiated product offerings have enabled our team to continue to sustain growth and win against competitors of all sizes." First Quarter 2026 Highlights (All comparisons refer to the first quarter of 2025, except as noted) Average loans and leases totaled $34.9 billion, an increase of $849.4 million, or 2.5%, driven by consumer loan growth of $1.1 billion. In December 2025, FNB transferred approximately $200 million of performing residential mortgage loans to held-for-sale in anticipation of a loan sale that closed in the first quarter of 2026 as part of balance sheet management actions. On a linked-quarter basis, period-end total consumer loans and commercial loans and leases increased $198.2 million and $136.0 million, respectively, as loan activity began to accelerate late in the quarter. Average deposits totaled $38.4 billion, an increase of $1.4 billion, or 3.8%, as the growth in average money market deposits of $1.0 billion, average interest-bearing demand deposits of $241.0 million and average non-interest-bearing demand deposits of $180.3 million more than offset the declines in average savings deposits of $42.0 million and average time deposits of $30.7 million. On a linked-quarter basis, period-end total deposits increased $141.8 million, with deposit growth more than offsetting seasonal outflows during the quarter. The loan-to-deposit ratio was 90.3% at March 31, 2026, compared to 89.7% at December 31, 2025, and 91.9% at March 31, 2025. Net interest income totaled $359.3 million, a decrease of $6.2 million, or 1.7%, linked-quarter, primarily due to the impact of two less days in the current quarter and lower yields on earning assets, partially offset by a lower cost of funds. Net interest margin (FTE) (non-GAAP) equaled 3.25%, a decrease of 3 basis points from the fourth quarter of 2025, reflecting an 8 basis point decline in the total cost of funds offset by an 11 basis point decline in the total yield on earning assets (non-GAAP) which were impacted by the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) lowering the target federal funds rate in December 2025. Pre-provision net revenue (non-GAAP) totaled $192.4 million, a 17% increase from the year-ago quarter, driven by continued solid non-interest income generation and growth in net interest income. Provision for credit losses was $18.5 million, a decrease of $0.4 million from the prior quarter, with net charge-offs of $15.9 million, or 0.18% annualized of total average loans, compared to $16.4 million, or 0.19% annualized, in the prior quarter. The ratio of non-performing loans and other real estate owned (OREO) to total loans and leases and OREO increased 3 basis points from the prior quarter to 0.34%, and total delinquency increased 3 basis points from the prior quarter to 0.74%. The allowance for credit losses (ACL) to total loans and leases ratio remained stable at 1.26%. Overall, asset quality metrics remain at solid levels, reflecting continued proactive management of the loan portfolio. The Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) regulatory capital ratio ended the quarter at 11.4% (estimated), compared to 10.7% at March 31, 2025, and 11.4% at December 31, 2025. The tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio (non-GAAP) equaled 8.9%, compared to 8.4% at March 31, 2025, and 8.9% at December 31, 2025. Tangible book value per common share (non-GAAP) of $12.06 increased $1.23, or 11.4%, compared to March 31, 2025, and $0.19, or 1.6%, compared to December 31, 2025. During the first quarter of 2026, the Company repurchased $35 million, or 2.0 million shares, of common stock at a weighted average share price of $17.41. On April 14, 2026, FNB announced the authorization of a new $250 million common stock repurchase program. Including the authority remaining under the previous program, total repurchase capacity is $300 million. In April 2026, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly common stock cash dividend of $0.13, an 8% increase, beginning with the common dividend payable on June 15, 2026. Non-GAAP measures referenced in this release are used by management to measure performance in operating the business that management believes enhances investors' ability to better understand the underlying business performance and trends related to core business activities. Reconciliations of non-GAAP operating measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the tables at the end of this release. For more information regarding our use of non-GAAP measures, please refer to the discussion herein under the caption, "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Performance Indicators."

Net interest income totaled $359.3 million, an increase of $35.4 million, or 10.9%, reflecting growth in average earning assets and lower interest-bearing deposit costs, partially offset by lower yields on earning assets. The net interest margin (FTE) (non-GAAP) increased 22 basis points to 3.25%. The yield on earning assets (non-GAAP) decreased 9 basis points to 5.14%, driven by a 12 basis point decline in yields on loans to 5.56%, partially offset by a 13 basis point increase in yields on investment securities to 3.54%. Total cost of funds decreased 31 basis points to 2.01%, with a 36 basis point decrease in interest-bearing deposit costs to 2.40% and a 57 basis point decrease in total borrowing costs. The FOMC has lowered the target federal funds rate by 175 basis points since August 2024. Average loans and leases totaled $34.9 billion, an increase of $849.4 million, or 2.5%, driven by growth of $1.1 billion in average consumer loans. Average commercial and industrial loans increased $266.4 million, or 3.5%, and average commercial leases increased $21.4 million, or 2.8%, offset by the decline in average commercial real estate loans of $503.1 million, or 4.0%. Solid commercial and industrial loan growth in the Charlotte, North Carolina market and equipment financing was offset by expected commercial real estate loan payoffs. The increase in average consumer loans included an $873.4 million, or 10.9%, increase in residential mortgage loans largely due to the continued successful execution in key markets and long-standing strategy of serving the purchase market, which was partially offset by the sale of approximately $200 million of performing residential mortgage loans in February 2026. Average consumer lines of credit increased $164.1 million, or 12.0%, and indirect auto loans increased $28.0 million, or 3.7%, both reflecting solid organic growth in the portfolio. Average deposits totaled $38.4 billion, an increase of $1.4 billion, or 3.8%. The growth in average money market deposits of $1.0 billion, average interest-bearing demand deposits of $241.0 million and average non-interest-bearing demand deposits of $180.3 million more than offset the decline in average savings deposits of $42.0 million and average time deposits of $30.7 million. The mix of non-interest-bearing demand deposits to total deposits was stable at 26% at both March 31, 2026, and March 31, 2025. The loan-to-deposit ratio improved to 90.3% at March 31, 2026, compared to 91.9% at March 31, 2025. Non-interest income totaled $91.0 million, an increase of $3.2 million, or 3.7%. Capital markets income increased $1.5 million, or 27.8%, reflecting solid contributions from debt capital markets, swap fees and international banking income. Wealth Management revenues increased $0.6 million, or 2.8%, as trust services income and securities commissions and fees increased 3.5% and 1.8%, respectively, through continued strong contributions across the geographic footprint. Other non-interest income increased $1.4 million, or 49.5%, from miscellaneous gains, while bank-owned life insurance decreased $1.2 million, reflecting higher life insurance claims in the year-ago quarter. Non-interest expense totaled $257.9 million, increasing $11.1 million, or 4.5%. Net occupancy and equipment increased $5.1 million, or 11.1%, primarily due to technology-related investments and higher occupancy costs, which included unusually high seasonal snow removal costs. Bank shares tax increased $0.4 million, or 10.7%, reflecting a higher capital base. Other non-interest expense increased $6.8 million, or 30.4%, due to higher fraud losses, various litigation-related expenses and the impact of Community Uplift, an affordable mortgage down payment assistance program. The ratio of non-performing loans and OREO to total loans and OREO decreased 14 basis points to 0.34%. Total delinquency decreased 1 basis point to 0.74%. Overall, asset quality metrics remain at solid levels. The provision for credit losses was $18.5 million, compared to $17.5 million. The first quarter of 2026 reflected net charge-offs of $15.9 million, or 0.18% annualized of total average loans, compared to $12.5 million, or 0.15% annualized, reflecting continued proactive management of the loan portfolio. The ACL was $443.0 million, an increase of $14.2 million, with the ratio of the ACL to total loans and leases increasing 1 basis point to 1.26%. The effective tax rate was 21.2%, compared to 20.9% in the first quarter of 2025. The CET1 regulatory capital ratio was 11.4% (estimated) at March 31, 2026, and 10.7% at March 31, 2025. Tangible book value per common share (non-GAAP) was $12.06 at March 31, 2026, an increase of $1.23, or 11.4%, from $10.83 at March 31, 2025. AOCI reduced the current quarter tangible book value per common share (non-GAAP) by $0.24, compared to a reduction of $0.34 at the end of the year-ago quarter. First Quarter 2026 Results – Comparison to Prior Quarter (All comparisons refer to the fourth quarter of 2025, except as noted.) Net interest income totaled $359.3 million, a decrease of $6.2 million, or 1.7%, primarily due to two less days in the current quarter and lower yields on earning assets, partially offset by lower cost of funds. The total yield on earning assets (non-GAAP) decreased 11 basis points to 5.14%. The total cost of funds decreased 8 basis points to 2.01%, as the cost of interest-bearing deposits decreased 13 basis points to 2.40% and total borrowing costs decreased 12 basis points to 4.23%. Total average borrowings increased $356.9 million due to normal seasonal outflows of deposits. The resulting net interest margin (FTE) (non-GAAP) was 3.25%, a 3 basis point decline. Average loans and leases totaled $34.9 billion, a slight decrease of $83.0 million, or 1.0% annualized, as average consumer loans increased $48.8 million, offsetting the decrease of $131.8 million in average commercial loans and leases. End of period balances for consumer loans and commercial loans and leases increased $198.2 million and $136.0 million, respectively, as loan activity began to accelerate late in the quarter. For consumer lending, average consumer lines of credit increased $32.1 million and indirect auto loans increased $28.2 million, both reflecting solid organic growth in the portfolio and offsetting the impact of the loan sale on average residential mortgages. Average commercial loans and leases included declines of $299.2 million in average commercial real estate loans from secondary market activity and $28.2 million in average commercial leases, partially offset by an increase of $201.4 million in average commercial and industrial loans. Average deposits totaled $38.4 billion, a decrease of $264.8 million, due to the impact of normal seasonal outflows in public funds and other corporate deposit balances. The decreases in average time deposits of $221.8 million and average non-interest-bearing deposit balances of $190.3 million were partially offset by growth in average interest-bearing demand deposits of $104.4 million and average savings deposit balances of $37.5 million. End of period total deposits increased $141.8 million as deposit inflows increased near the end of the quarter from their seasonal lows. The mix of non-interest-bearing demand deposits to total deposits was stable at 26% for both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The loan-to-deposit ratio totaled 90.3% at March 31, 2026, compared to 89.7% at December 31, 2025. Non-interest income totaled $91.0 million, a decrease of $1.4 million, or 1.5%, from the prior quarter. Insurance commission and fees increased $1.4 million, or 30.3%, driven by seasonal contingent revenue and new client acquisition. Mortgage banking operations income increased $0.7 million, or 12.7%, primarily due to an 8% increase in sold loan volumes. Dividends on non-marketable equity securities increased $0.6 million, or 9.9%, from higher Federal Home Loan Bank activity. Service charges decreased $1.2 million, or 5.2%, primarily from the seasonally higher consumer transaction volumes in the prior quarter. Bank-owned life insurance decreased $1.2 million, reflecting higher life insurance claims in the prior quarter. Non-interest expense totaled $257.9 million, a decrease of $15.3 million, or 5.6%, compared to the prior quarter. When adjusting for $16.6 million1 (pre-tax) of significant items in the fourth quarter of 2025, operating non-interest expense (non-GAAP) increased $1.3 million, or 0.5%. Net occupancy and equipment increased $3.0 million, or 6.3%, primarily due to unusually high snow removal costs and higher occupancy costs. Salaries and employee benefits increased $1.9 million, or 1.4%, primarily due to normal seasonal long-term compensation expense of $7.1 million in the first quarter of 2026, as well as seasonally higher employer-paid payroll taxes, partially offset by lower employer-paid healthcare costs and performance-based compensation. Outside services decreased $3.1 million, or 10.6%, due to lower third-party legal costs. The efficiency ratio (non-GAAP) totaled 56.1%, compared to 53.8% in the prior quarter, reflecting the impact of the December FOMC rate cut and two less days in the quarter on net interest income and normal seasonality. The ratio of non-performing loans and OREO to total loans and OREO increased 3 basis points to 0.34%, and delinquency increased 3 basis points to 0.74%. Overall, asset quality metrics remain at solid levels. The provision for credit losses was $18.5 million, compared to $18.9 million. The first quarter of 2026 reflected net charge-offs of $15.9 million, or 0.18% annualized of total average loans, compared to $16.4 million, or 0.19% annualized, reflecting continued proactive management of the loan portfolio. The ACL was $443.0 million, an increase of $3.5 million, with the ratio of the ACL to total loans and leases stable at 1.26%. The effective tax rate was 21.2%, compared to (1.8)%, reflecting the impact of the investment tax credits recognized as part of a renewable energy project financing transaction in the prior quarter. The CET1 regulatory capital ratio was 11.4% (estimated), stable to 11.4% at December 31, 2025. Tangible book value per common share (non-GAAP) was $12.06 at March 31, 2026, an increase of $0.19 per share. AOCI reduced the current quarter-end tangible book value per common share (non-GAAP) by $0.24 as of March 31, 2026, compared to $0.18 at the end of the prior quarter. 1 Fourth quarter 2025 non-interest expense significant items impacting earnings included a $20 million (pre-tax) contribution to the FNB Foundation and ($3.4) million (pre-tax) reduction in the estimated FDIC special assessment related to the 2023 bank failures. Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Performance Indicators To supplement our Consolidated Financial Statements presented in accordance with GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP financial measures, such as operating net income available to common shareholders, operating earnings per diluted common share, return on average tangible common equity, return on average tangible assets, tangible book value per common share, the ratio of tangible common equity to tangible assets, operating non-interest expense, pre-provision net revenue (reported), operating pre-provision net revenue, efficiency ratio, and net interest margin (FTE) to provide information useful to investors in understanding our operating performance and trends, and to facilitate comparisons with the performance of our peers. Management uses these measures internally to assess and better understand our underlying business performance and trends related to core business activities. The non-GAAP financial measures and key performance indicators we use may differ from the non-GAAP financial measures and key performance indicators other financial institutions use to assess their performance and trends. These non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed as supplemental in nature, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, our reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of non-GAAP operating measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included later in this release under the heading "Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Performance Indicators to GAAP." Management believes certain items (e.g., FDIC special assessment) are not organic to running our operations and facilities. These items are considered significant items impacting earnings as they are deemed to be outside of ordinary banking activities. These costs are specific to each individual transaction and may vary significantly based on the size and complexity of the transaction. To facilitate peer comparisons of net interest margin and efficiency ratio, we use net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis in calculating net interest margin by increasing the interest income earned on tax-exempt assets (loans and investments) to make it fully equivalent to interest income earned on taxable investments (this adjustment is not permitted under GAAP). Taxable-equivalent amounts for 2026 and 2025 were calculated using a federal statutory income tax rate of 21%.

What's Next for F.N.B.?While F.N.B. has outperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock? There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately. Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions. Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for F.N.B. was mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock.

FNB Q1 Earnings Meet Estimates, Revenues & Expenses Rise Y/Y | FMP Stock News | |
|
Original source text
Key Takeaways FNB reported Q1 EPS of 38 cents, matching estimates and rising 18.8% y/y.F.N.B. Corp saw higher NII and loan, deposit growth drive a 9.4% revenue increase.FNB faced higher expenses and provisions, while credit metrics showed mixed trends. F.N.B. Corporation (FNB - Free Report) reported first-quarter 2026 earnings of 38 cents per share, which matched the Zacks Consensus Estimate. The bottom line jumped 18.8% year over year.The quarterly results benefited from higher net interest income (NII) and non-interest income. Higher average loans and deposits were other positives. However, higher non-interest expenses and provisions hurt the results to some extent. Net income available to common shareholders was $137 million, up from $116.5 million in the prior-year quarter. Our estimate for net income available to common shareholders was $138.5 million. FNB’s Revenues Improve, Expenses RiseTotal revenues were $450.3 million, up 9.4% from the year-ago quarter. The top line missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $454.7 million. NII was $359.3 million, up 10.9% from the prior-year quarter. The rise reflected growth in average earning assets and lower interest-bearing deposit costs, partially offset by lower yields on earning assets. The net interest margin (NIM) (FTE basis) expanded 22 basis points (bps) year over year to 3.25%. Our estimates for NII and NIM were pegged at $363.8 million and 3.27%, respectively. Non-interest income was $91 million, up 3.7% year over year. The rise was primarily driven by higher capital markets income, dividends on non-marketable equity securities, insurance commissions and fees, and other income. Our estimate for the metric was $92 million. Non-interest expenses were $257.9 million, up 4.5% year over year. The rise was due to an increase in almost all cost components, except for marketing costs and FDIC insurance expenses. Our estimate for non-interest expenses was $255.6 million. At the end of the first quarter, average total loans and leases were $34.9 billion, up 2.5% from the prior-year quarter, while average total deposits were $38.4 billion, up 3.8%. Our estimates for average total loans and leases and average total deposits were $35 billion and $39 billion, respectively. F.N.B. Corp’s Credit Quality: A Mixed BagFNB’s provision for credit losses was $18.5 million, up 5.6% from the prior-year quarter. Our estimate for provisions was $23.3 million. Net charge-offs were $15.9 million, up from $12.5 million a year ago. However, the ratio of non-performing loans plus other real estate owned (OREO) to total loans and leases plus OREO decreased 14 bps year over year to 0.34%. Total delinquency decreased 1 bp to 0.74%. FNB’s Capital Ratios ImproveAs of March 31, 2026, the common equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio was 11.4%, up from 10.7% in the prior-year quarter. Tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio (non-GAAP) increased to 8.91% from 8.37%. FNB’s Share Repurchase UpdateIn the first quarter of 2026, F.N.B. Corp repurchased $35 million, or 2 million shares, at a weighted average share price of $17.41. Our View on FNBFNB’s solid liquidity position bodes well for the future. The company’s top line is expected to benefit from its efforts to increase fee income, its diverse revenue streams, stabilizing funding costs, opportunistic acquisitions and de novo branch expansion in high-growth markets. However, persistently rising expenses and significant commercial loan exposures are headwinds. Currently, FNB carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here. Performance of Other BanksM&T Bank Corporation (MTB - Free Report) reported first-quarter 2026 net operating earnings per share of $4.18, which beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $4.02. The bottom line compared favorably with earnings of $3.38 per share in the year-ago quarter. MTB’s results were aided by higher NII and a rise in non-interest income, along with modest loan growth. However, a decline in deposits, higher provision for credit losses and elevated expenses acted as headwinds. KeyCorp’s (KEY - Free Report) first-quarter 2026 earnings from continuing operations of 44 cents per share outpaced the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 41 cents. The bottom line reflected a 33.3% rise from the prior-year quarter. KEY’s results primarily benefited from higher NII and non-interest income. Higher average loan balances, along with lower provisions, were other tailwinds. However, higher expenses hurt KEY’s results to some extent. |

Is F N B Corp (FNB) Overvalued After 3.1% Rally? GF Value Says Overvalued | FMP Stock News | |
|
Original source text
On April 17, 2026, F N B Corp FNB shares experienced a 3.1% increase, bringing the current price to $17.94. This move is set against a 52-week range of $12.33 to $19.14, reflecting significant volatility and investor interest over the past year.GF Value™ verdict: Current price of $17.94 is 13.3% above the GF Value™ of $15.83, indicating the stock is overvalued.GF Score™: With a score of 77/100, FNB is considered to have above-average potential for long-term returns.Most notable signal: FNB has seen no insider transactions in the last 3 months, which may suggest a lack of confidence or uncertainty among insiders about the current market price. Is FNB Overvalued or Undervalued? The current market price of F N B Corp at $17.94 is notably above its GF Value™ estimate of $15.83, indicating that the stock is overvalued by approximately 13.3%. This suggests that investors may be paying a premium for the stock relative to its intrinsic value as assessed by GuruFocus. The GF Valuation label classifies FNB as "Modestly Overvalued," which highlights the risk associated with investing in this stock at its current price. A higher valuation usually implies greater expectations for future performance, and if these expectations are not met, the stock price could decline. GF Value™ is GuruFocus' proprietary measure of intrinsic value, calculated from historical trading multiples, past business growth, and future performance estimates. Given that FNB's shares are currently trading above this intrinsic value, potential investors may want to exercise caution as there is a risk of a price correction should market sentiment shift or if the company's growth does not meet expectations. How Does FNB's Valuation Compare to Its History? Metric Current Historical P/E (TTM) 11.5x 11.0x Forward P/E 10.5x N/A F N B Corp's current P/E ratio (TTM) of 11.5x is 5% above its 5-year median P/E of 11.0x, indicating that the stock is trading at a slight premium compared to its historical valuation. This analysis aligns with the GF Value™ verdict, further supporting the conclusion that FNB is currently overvalued. The forward P/E of 10.5x suggests a more favorable valuation relative to earnings expectations, but the current TTM P/E indicates a need for caution. What Does FNB's GF Score™ Tell Us? Metric Rating GF Score™ 77/100 Financial Strength 4/10 Profitability 5/10 Growth 6/10 Valuation 7/10 Momentum 8/10 The GF Score™ of 77/100 suggests that FNB possesses above-average potential for long-term returns, although there are areas of concern. The strongest aspect of FNB's score is its Momentum rank of 8/10, indicating that the stock has been performing well in terms of price movements. However, the Financial Strength rank of 4/10 is relatively weak, indicating potential vulnerabilities in the company's financial stability. This mixed set of scores suggests that while FNB has strong momentum, its financial health may require further scrutiny. What Are Insiders Doing with FNB Stock? Recent insider activity for F N B Corp indicates no transactions over the last three months. This lack of buying or selling may suggest that insiders are either uncertain about the stock's future performance or are waiting for a more opportune moment to act. Typically, significant insider transactions can indicate confidence in a company's future; however, the absence of such activity in this case may warrant a cautious approach. What This Means for Investors Based on the GF Value™ assessment, F N B Corp FNB is currently overvalued. The stock's price exceeds its estimated intrinsic value, suggesting potential risks for investors considering entry at this level. It may be prudent for potential investors to monitor the stock closely or await a more favorable price before making investment decisions. For the complete analysis, visit the F N B Corp FNB stock page. You can also explore the GF Value™ page for detailed valuation methodology, or use the GuruFocus Stock Screener to find similar opportunities. Frequently Asked Questions What is FNB's GF Score™?

F.N.B. (FNB) is a Top-Ranked Momentum Stock: Should You Buy? | FMP Stock News | |

Original source text
Taking full advantage of the stock market and investing with confidence are common goals for new and old investors, and Zacks Premium offers many different ways to do both.Featuring daily updates of the Zacks Rank and Zacks Industry Rank, full access to the Zacks #1 Rank List, Equity Research reports, and Premium stock screens, the research service can help you become a smarter, more self-assured investor. It also includes access to the Zacks Style Scores. What are the Zacks Style Scores? The Zacks Style Scores, developed alongside the Zacks Rank, are complementary indicators that rate stocks based on three widely-followed investing methodologies; they also help investors pick stocks with the best chances of beating the market over the next 30 days. Each stock is assigned a rating of A, B, C, D, or F based on their value, growth, and momentum characteristics. Just like in school, an A is better than a B, a B is better than a C, and so on -- that means the better the score, the better chance the stock will outperform. The Style Scores are broken down into four categories: Value ScoreFinding good stocks at good prices, and discovering which companies are trading under their true value, are what value investors like to focus on. So, the Value Style Score takes into account ratios like P/E, PEG, Price/Sales, Price/Cash Flow, and a host of other multiples to highlight the most attractive and discounted stocks. Growth ScoreWhile good value is important, growth investors are more focused on a company's financial strength and health, and its future outlook. The Growth Style Score takes projected and historic earnings, sales, and cash flow into account to uncover stocks that will see long-term, sustainable growth. Momentum ScoreMomentum traders and investors live by the saying "the trend is your friend." This investing style is all about taking advantage of upward or downward trends in a stock's price or earnings outlook. Employing factors like one-week price change and the monthly percentage change in earnings estimates, the Momentum Style Score can indicate favorable times to build a position in high-momentum stocks. VGM ScoreIf you like to use all three kinds of investing, then the VGM Score is for you. It's a combination of all Style Scores, and is an important indicator to use with the Zacks Rank. The VGM Score rates each stock on their shared weighted styles, narrowing down the companies with the most attractive value, best growth forecast, and most promising momentum. How Style Scores Work with the Zacks Rank The Zacks Rank, which is a proprietary stock-rating model, employs earnings estimate revisions, or changes to a company's earnings expectations, to make building a winning portfolio easier. It's highly successful, with #1 (Strong Buy) stocks producing an unmatched +23.93% average annual return since 1988. That's more than double the S&P 500. But because of the large number of stocks we rate, there are over 200 companies with a Strong Buy rank, plus another 600 with a #2 (Buy) rank, on any given day. With more than 800 top-rated stocks to choose from, it can certainly feel overwhelming to pick the ones that are right for you and your investing journey. That's where the Style Scores come in. To maximize your returns, you want to buy stocks with the highest probability of success. This means picking stocks with a Zacks Rank #1 or #2 that also have Style Scores of A or B. If you find yourself looking at stocks with a #3 (Hold) rank, make sure they have Scores of A or B as well to ensure as much upside potential as possible. Since the Scores were created to work together with the Zacks Rank, the direction of a stock's earnings estimate revisions should be a key factor when choosing which stocks to buy. Here's an example: a stock with a #4 (Sell) or #5 (Strong Sell) rating, even one with Style Scores of A and B, still has a downward-trending earnings outlook, and a bigger chance its share price will decrease too. Thus, the more stocks you own with a #1 or #2 Rank and Scores of A or B, the better. Stock to Watch: F.N.B. (FNB - Free Report) F.N.B.

Here's Why F.N.B. (FNB) is a Strong Value Stock | FMP Stock News | |
|
Original source text
It doesn't matter your age or experience: taking full advantage of the stock market and investing with confidence are common goals for all investors. Luckily, Zacks Premium offers several different ways to do both.Featuring daily updates of the Zacks Rank and Zacks Industry Rank, full access to the Zacks #1 Rank List, Equity Research reports, and Premium stock screens, the research service can help you become a smarter, more self-assured investor. Zacks Premium also includes the Zacks Style Scores. What are the Zacks Style Scores? The Zacks Style Scores is a unique set of guidelines that rates stocks based on three popular investing types, and were developed as complementary indicators for the Zacks Rank. This combination helps investors choose securities with the highest chances of beating the market over the next 30 days. Each stock is assigned a rating of A, B, C, D, or F based on their value, growth, and momentum characteristics. Just like in school, an A is better than a B, a B is better than a C, and so on -- that means the better the score, the better chance the stock will outperform. The Style Scores are broken down into four categories: Value ScoreFor value investors, it's all about finding good stocks at good prices, and discovering which companies are trading under their true value before the broader market catches on. The Value Style Score utilizes ratios like P/E, PEG, Price/Sales, Price/Cash Flow, and a host of other multiples to help pick out the most attractive and discounted stocks. Growth ScoreGrowth investors are more concerned with a stock's future prospects, and the overall financial health and strength of a company. Thus, the Growth Style Score analyzes characteristics like projected and historic earnings, sales, and cash flow to find stocks that will see sustainable growth over time. Momentum ScoreMomentum traders and investors live by the saying "the trend is your friend." This investing style is all about taking advantage of upward or downward trends in a stock's price or earnings outlook. Employing factors like one-week price change and the monthly percentage change in earnings estimates, the Momentum Style Score can indicate favorable times to build a position in high-momentum stocks. VGM ScoreIf you want a combination of all three Style Scores, then the VGM Score will be your friend. It rates each stock on their combined weighted styles, helping you find the companies with the most attractive value, best growth forecast, and most promising momentum. It's also one of the best indicators to use with the Zacks Rank. How Style Scores Work with the Zacks Rank A proprietary stock-rating model, the Zacks Rank utilizes the power of earnings estimate revisions, or changes to a company's earnings outlook, to help investors create a successful portfolio. #1 (Strong Buy) stocks have produced an unmatched +23.93% average annual return since 1988, which is more than double the S&P 500's performance over the same time frame. However, the Zacks Rank examines a ton of stocks, and there can be more than 200 companies with a Strong Buy rank, and another 600 with a #2 (Buy) rank, on any given day. This totals more than 800 top-rated stocks, and it can be overwhelming to try and pick the best stocks for you and your portfolio. That's where the Style Scores come in. To have the best chance of big returns, you'll want to always consider stocks with a Zacks Rank #1 or #2 that also have Style Scores of A or B, which will give you the highest probability of success. If you're looking at stocks with a #3 (Hold) rank, it's important they have Scores of A or B as well to ensure as much upside potential as possible. The direction of a stock's earnings estimate revisions should always be a key factor when choosing which stocks to buy, since the Scores were created to work together with the Zacks Rank. For instance, a stock with a #4 (Sell) or #5 (Strong Sell) rating, even one that boasts Scores of A and B, still has a downward-trending earnings forecast, and a much greater likelihood its share price will decline as well. Thus, the more stocks you own with a #1 or #2 Rank and Scores of A or B, the better. Stock to Watch: F.N.B. (FNB - Free Report) F.N.B. Corporation, based in Pittsburgh, PA, is a financial holding company that provides a variety of banking and financial services through its subsidiaries, with its largest being First National Bank of Pennsylvania, established in 1864. FNB is a #3 (Hold) on the Zacks Rank, with a VGM Score of B. It also boasts a Value Style Score of B thanks to attractive valuation metrics like a forward P/E ratio of 10.25; value investors should take notice. Two analysts revised their earnings estimate upwards in the last 60 days for fiscal 2026. The Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased $0.00 to $1.72 per share. FNB boasts an average earnings surprise of +10.5%. With a solid Zacks Rank and top-tier Value and VGM Style Scores, FNB should be on investors' short list. |

FITB's Bold Branch Expansion Strategy: Will It Drive Long-Term Growth? | FMP Stock News | |
|
Original source text
Key Takeaways FITB plans 1,750 branches by 2030, focused on fast-growing U.S. markets.Fifth Third expects Southeast expansion to generate $15-$20B in deposits over the next seven years.FITB's Comerica acquisition expanded its reach into 17 of the 20 fastest-growing U.S. markets. Fifth Third Bancorp’s (FITB - Free Report) branch expansion strategy has emerged as one of the company’s most significant growth initiatives in recent years. The bank has been aggressively expanding its physical presence across high-growth markets in the United States, particularly in the Southeast, Texas, Arizona and California. According to the company’s plans, Fifth Third aims to operate nearly 1,750 branches by 2030, with more than half located in these fast-growing markets.The Southeast expansion has already shown encouraging progress. By the end of 2025, FITB had reached its 200th financial center in Florida and 100th branch in the Carolinas. These milestones demonstrate the bank’s commitment to increasing its footprint in regions experiencing strong population growth and rising business activity. Management estimates that the Southeast expansion alone could generate between $15 billion and $20 billion in deposits over the next seven years. Fifth Third’s expansion strategy became even more impactful after its acquisition of Comerica in February 2026. The merger created the ninth-largest U.S. bank with nearly $294 billion in assets and significantly broadened FITB’s geographic reach. Through this acquisition, the bank operates in 17 of the 20 fastest-growing large markets in the country, including important regions in Texas and California. The combined organization expects to leverage Fifth Third’s strong retail and digital banking capabilities along with Comerica’s middle-market expertise to deepen customer relationships and accelerate deposit growth. Another important aspect of FITB’s branch expansion strategy is its focus on balancing physical banking with digital innovation. Fifth Third intends to use its branches as relationship-building centers rather than simply transaction points. This approach supports cross-selling opportunities in wealth management, treasury services and commercial banking, helping diversify revenue streams beyond traditional interest income. However, the expansion strategy also presents challenges. Rising non-interest expenses related to branch openings, technology investments and digitization initiatives are expected to pressure profitability in the near term. FITB has acknowledged that higher operating costs associated with expansion may continue affecting the company’s bottom line despite achieving efficiency improvements through cost-saving programs. Overall, Fifth Third’s branch expansion move represents a bold long-term growth strategy aimed at capturing market share in rapidly expanding regions. Although the initiative increases short-term costs, the potential for higher deposits, stronger retail presence and diversified revenue generation could significantly strengthen the bank’s competitive position in the future. FITB’s Price Performance & Zacks RankIn the past year, Fifth Third’s shares have gained 23.3% compared with the industry’s growth of 28.7%. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research Currently, the company carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here. Similar Steps Taken by Other Financial FirmsPNC Financial’s (PNC - Free Report) banking subsidiary, PNC Bank, N.A., plans to open more than 300 branches by 2030, increasing its total branch investment to about $2 billion. The plan includes opening more than 300 branches across nearly 20 U.S. markets, renovating its entire branch network by 2029, and hiring more than 2,000 new employees to support growth and customer service efforts by 2030. By broadening its reach in high-growth regions, PNC aims to establish itself as a leading financial institution that effectively serves the diverse needs of consumers and businesses of all sizes. F.N.B. Corp.’s (FNB - Free Report) main subsidiary, First National Bank, plans to open 30 branches in high-growth Southeast and Mid-Atlantic markets by 2030. These new branches will accelerate the company’s ongoing expansion in North Carolina, South Carolina and the Bank's Mid-Atlantic Region, including Maryland, Virginia and Washington, DC. This move builds on FNB’s successful expansion strategy in South Carolina, where it has heavily invested in Greenville and Charleston. |

F.N.B. Corp Gains 26.9% in a Year: Should You Buy the Stock Now? | FMP Stock News | |
|
Original source text
Key Takeaways F.N.B. Corp shares gained 26.9% in a year, outperforming industry peers.FNB plans 30 new branches by 2030 to expand in high-growth Southeast and Mid-Atlantic markets.F.N.B. Corp raised its dividend 8.3% and authorized a $250M share repurchase plan. Shares of F.N.B. Corporation (FNB - Free Report) have gained 26.9% in the past year, outperforming the industry’s 8.5% growth. In the same time frame, the S&P 500 Index has rallied 30.3%.If we compare the company’s price performance with its close peers like Associated Banc-Corp (ASB - Free Report) and Commerce Bancshares, Inc. (CBSH - Free Report) , it appears that the FNB stock has outperformed both. In the past year, ASB shares have rallied 21.2%, while the CBSH stock has declined 17.2%. 1-Year Price Performance Image Source: Zacks Investment Research Does the FNB stock have more upside left despite recent strength in price? Let us find out by looking at its fundamentals and growth prospects. Key Positives of F.N.B. CorpRevenue Strength: The company’s total revenues have witnessed a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5% over the last six years (2019-2025), supported by robust loan growth (seeing a CAGR of 6.5% over the five years ended 2025). Both revenues and net loans increased in the first quarter of 2026 as well. Revenue Trend Image Source: Zacks Investment Research In September 2025, F.N.B. Corp announced a de novo branch expansion in high-growth Southeast and Mid-Atlantic markets, with plans to open 30 branches by 2030. Supported by the company’s solid loan and deposit pipeline, its initiatives to strengthen non-interest income, along with efforts to enhance product suite, leverage artificial intelligence, sustain client acquisition and expand service, top-line growth is expected to continue in the near term. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for FNB’s 2026 and 2027 revenues are pegged at $1.90 billion and $2.04 billion, respectively, which indicate year-over-year growth rates of 7.4% and 7.6%. Revenue Estimates Image Source: Zacks Investment Research Expanding Net Interest Margin (NIM): The Federal Reserve lowered interest rates by 75 basis points in 2025. Despite this, in 2025, the company’s net interest margin (NIM) improved to 3.19% from 3.09% in 2024. The upward trend continued in the first quarter of 2026. Now, supported by stabilizing funding/deposit costs, F.N.B. Corp’s NIM is expected to continue to improve. The company’s balance sheet repositioning action taken in 2024 and the rolling off of swaps will further support growth. Solid Inorganic Expansion Initiatives: Since 2005, FNB has successfully integrated many buyouts. Also, it has acquired several branches from other banks. In the second quarter of 2025, the company acquired Raptor to strengthen its capital markets capabilities (in March 2026, it expanded its public finance offerings with municipal bond underwriting). In 2022, F.N.B. Corp completed the acquisition of UB Bancorp (expanding its presence in North Carolina) and Howard Bancorp. These, along with prior deals, are expected to be accretive to the company’s earnings. Robust Digitization Efforts: F.N.B. Corp is accelerating its digital transformation by adding business loan products to its eStore Common application, expanding a platform that already enables customers to apply for more than 50 consumer and business banking products in one place. This initiative is expected to support the company’s long-term “Clicks-to-Bricks” strategy, launched in 2016 by CEO Vincent J. Delie Jr., which blends digital capabilities with branch network to create a seamless experience across mobile, online and in-branch channels. By integrating business lending into its digital ecosystem, the bank aims to deepen relationships with small business clients, improve onboarding efficiency and increase cross-selling opportunities. The bank is also using artificial intelligence and advanced data analytics to simplify applications, reduce manual work and speed decision-making, resulting in faster service and greater convenience for customers. Overall, F.N.B. Corp’s digital investments are strengthening engagement, expanding access and supporting long-term growth. Solid Balance Sheet & Capital Position: FNB has a decent liquidity position. As of March 31, 2026, it had total debt worth $4.2 billion (comprising 52% of short-term borrowings), and cash and cash equivalents of $2.7 billion. Moreover, supported by a robust balance sheet position and earnings strength, the company’s capital distributions seem sustainable, through which it will keep enhancing shareholder value. In April 2026, the company hiked its quarterly dividend 8.3% to 13 cents per share. It also has a share repurchase program in place. In April 2026, the company authorized a $250-million share repurchase program, adding to the remaining $50 million from the previous share repurchase program authorized in April 2022. F.N.B. Corp’s Near-Term HeadwindsWeak Asset Quality: The company’s asset quality has been deteriorating over the past few years. While provision for credit losses declined in 2021, the metric saw a CAGR of 11.6% over the six years ended 2025. Net charge-offs (NCOs) witnessed a CAGR of 16.4% over the same time frame. Both provisions and NCOs increased in the first quarter of 2026 as well. The company’s asset quality is expected to remain under pressure in the near term amid the tough macroeconomic backdrop. We expect provisions to witness a CAGR of 7.3% by 2028. NCOs are expected to see a CAGR of 8% by 2028. Elevated Expense Levels: F.N.B. Corp’s expenses have been elevated over the past several years. Total non-interest expenses witnessed a six-year (ended 2025) CAGR of 6.4%, with the uptrend continuing in first-quarter 2026. The increase was mainly due to higher salaries and benefits costs, as well as strategic acquisitions. Expense Trend Image Source: Zacks Investment Research Overall costs are expected to remain elevated as the company continues to invest in franchises, digitize operations and grow through acquisitions. We project non-interest expenses (GAAP) to rise 1.2%, 2.4% and 1.1% in 2026, 2027 and 2028, respectively. Analyst Sentiments for FNBOver the past 30 days, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for F.N.B. Corp’s 2026 earnings of $1.73 per share has been revised marginally upward. Its 2027 earnings estimate of $1.96 has been unchanged. The estimated figures indicate year-over-year growth rates of 8.8% and 13.5% for 2026 and 2027, respectively. Earnings Estimate Revision Trend Image Source: Zacks Investment Research Should You Invest in F.N.B. Corp Stock Now?Opportunistic acquisitions, de novo branch expansion in high-growth markets and a solid loan balance are expected to continue to drive the company’s top-line growth. The digitization of banking operations aligns with its long-term growth plan. Supported by a solid liquidity position, the company is expected to keep enhancing shareholder value through efficient capital distributions. In terms of its valuation, the FNB stock is currently trading at a trailing 12-month price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 10.63X, below the industry average of 11.49. This shows that FNB is currently undervalued than its peers. P/E TTM Image Source: Zacks Investment Research Despite a favorable valuation, it does not seem a wise idea to invest in the FNB stock immediately. Because of persistently increasing expenses and a weak asset quality, the company’s profitability will likely be hampered to an extent in the near term. Moreover, analysts are not very optimistic regarding the company’s earnings growth potential. Nevertheless, those who already own the FNB stock should hold on to it for long-term gains. Currently, FNB carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here. |

Earnings Preview: Pilgrim's Pride (PPC) Q1 Earnings Expected to Decline | FMP Stock News | |
|
Original source text
Wall Street expects a year-over-year decline in earnings on higher revenues when Pilgrim's Pride (PPC - Free Report) reports results for the quarter ended March 2026. While this widely-known consensus outlook is important in gauging the company's earnings picture, a powerful factor that could impact its near-term stock price is how the actual results compare to these estimates.The stock might move higher if these key numbers top expectations in the upcoming earnings report, which is expected to be released on April 29. On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move lower. While the sustainability of the immediate price change and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's discussion of business conditions on the earnings call, it's worth handicapping the probability of a positive EPS surprise. Zacks Consensus EstimateThis poultry producer is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.69 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -47.3%. Revenues are expected to be $4.5 billion, up 0.8% from the year-ago quarter. Estimate Revisions TrendThe consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days. This is essentially a reflection of how the covering analysts have collectively reassessed their initial estimates over this period. Investors should keep in mind that an aggregate change may not always reflect the direction of estimate revisions by each of the covering analysts. Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise Earnings WhisperEstimate revisions ahead of a company's earnings release offer clues to the business conditions for the period whose results are coming out. Our proprietary surprise prediction model -- the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction) -- has this insight at its core. The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a more recent version of the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier. Thus, a positive or negative Earnings ESP reading theoretically indicates the likely deviation of the actual earnings from the consensus estimate. However, the model's predictive power is significant for positive ESP readings only. A positive Earnings ESP is a strong predictor of an earnings beat, particularly when combined with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold). Our research shows that stocks with this combination produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time, and a solid Zacks Rank actually increases the predictive power of Earnings ESP. Please note that a negative Earnings ESP reading is not indicative of an earnings miss. Our research shows that it is difficult to predict an earnings beat with any degree of confidence for stocks with negative Earnings ESP readings and/or Zacks Rank of 4 (Sell) or 5 (Strong Sell). How Have the Numbers Shaped Up for Pilgrim's Pride?For Pilgrim's Pride, the Most Accurate Estimate is lower than the Zacks Consensus Estimate, suggesting that analysts have recently become bearish on the company's earnings prospects. This has resulted in an Earnings ESP of -16.79%. On the other hand, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank of #4. So, this combination makes it difficult to conclusively predict that Pilgrim's Pride will beat the consensus EPS estimate. Does Earnings Surprise History Hold Any Clue?Analysts often consider to what extent a company has been able to match consensus estimates in the past while calculating their estimates for its future earnings. So, it's worth taking a look at the surprise history for gauging its influence on the upcoming number. For the last reported quarter, it was expected that Pilgrim's Pride would post earnings of $0.78 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.68, delivering a surprise of -12.82%. Over the last four quarters, the company has beaten consensus EPS estimates three times. Bottom LineAn earnings beat or miss may not be the sole basis for a stock moving higher or lower. Many stocks end up losing ground despite an earnings beat due to other factors that disappoint investors. Similarly, unforeseen catalysts help a number of stocks gain despite an earnings miss. That said, betting on stocks that are expected to beat earnings expectations does increase the odds of success. This is why it's worth checking a company's Earnings ESP and Zacks Rank ahead of its quarterly release. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported. Pilgrim's Pride doesn't appear a compelling earnings-beat candidate. However, investors should pay attention to other factors too for betting on this stock or staying away from it ahead of its earnings release. Expected Results of an Industry PlayerSmithfield Foods, Inc. (SFD - Free Report) , another stock in the Zacks Food - Meat Products industry, is expected to report earnings per share of $0.58 for the quarter ended March 2026. This estimate points to no change from the year-ago quarter. Revenues for the quarter are expected to be $3.74 billion, down 0.8% from the year-ago quarter. Over the last 30 days, the consensus EPS estimate for Smithfield Foods, Inc. has been revised 10.1% up to the current level. Nevertheless, the company now has an Earnings ESP of 0.00%, reflecting an equal Most Accurate Estimate. When combined with a Zacks Rank of #1 (Strong Buy), this Earnings ESP makes it difficult to conclusively predict that Smithfield Foods, Inc. will beat the consensus EPS estimate. Over the last four quarters, the company surpassed consensus EPS estimates three times. Stay on top of upcoming earnings announcements with the Zacks Earnings Calendar. |

Think Beyond the Headlines: These 3 Stocks Could Create Wealth for Generations | FMP Stock News | |
|
Original source text
Generational wealth doesn't announce itself. It doesn't come with a viral moment or a TV segment. It usually comes from owning a piece of something that has kept growing over time, through recessions, through trade wars, through every market cycle, even as short-term considerations may have convinced other investors to sell. For example, back in the 1980s, Home Depot (HD +0.28%) was probably viewed as a boring little hardware store chain. But over the decades, it has behaved more like a growth stock, increasing in value by more than 10,000-fold. The three companies below aren't flashy. But each one is doing something structurally interesting that I think most investors haven't given much thought to. That's usually where opportunities lie for making investments that can deliver generational wealth. Image source: Getty Images. 1. Church & Dwight is running one of the best brand incubators nobody talks about Most people who are aware of Church & Dwight (CHD 1.13%) will know it as the company that makes Arm & Hammer baking soda. That framing is about 20 years out of date. Over the last four years, Church & Dwight has assembled one of the more interesting portfolios in the consumer goods space. Hero Cosmetics -- the acne patch brand it acquired in 2022 -- has expanded beyond its original product into a full Gen Z skincare line, with facial cleansers launching nationally in mid-2026, covering a range of acne consumer needs. TheraBreath, which the company acquired for $580 million in 2021 when international sales represented less than 10% of the brand's sales, is now being scaled as part of one of the company's three explicit long-term growth mandates. At the Consumer Analyst Group of New York conference in February, CEO Rick Dierker laid out his roadmap for the company plainly: Grow Arm & Hammer sales from $2 billion to $3 billion, scale its oral care products business from $1 billion to $1.5 billion, and expand internationally from $1 billion to $2 billion. Those are operating priorities backed by a balance sheet that, following the divestiture of the vitamin business, has net debt down to 0.6 times normalized EBITDA. The reason I think Church & Dwight is a generational holding is the model itself. It finds category-leading brands in underpenetrated spaces, acquires them at fair prices, and then uses its distribution infrastructure to take them global. Hero had almost no international presence when Church & Dwight bought it. TheraBreath had minimal international presence. The pattern is clear, and it works. Today's Change ( -1.13 %) $ -1.11 Current Price $ 97.08 2. Pilgrim's Pride has a brand that hit $1 billion before anyone was paying attention Pilgrim's Pride (PPC +0.54%) is one of the world's largest poultry producers. That sounds like a commodity business with low margins, cyclical patterns, and undifferentiated products. The Just Bare brand is why that framing is increasingly wrong. According to the company's Feb. 19 press release, Just Bare -- its premium all-natural chicken brand -- surpassed $1 billion in annual retail sales in 2025, growing 45% year over year. The company described it as "the fastest sales momentum in the category." Those results reflect a company successfully running a branded consumer foods playbook inside a business that most investors still price like a bulk processor. The bet on Pilgrim's Pride isn't the chicken. It's whether Just Bare becomes what the company's prepared foods division grows around. Pilgrim's Pride has the distribution infrastructure to scale that brand significantly further. If it does, the market will eventually reprice the company, not as a commodity producer, but as a branded foods platform with a premium anchor brand. Today's Change ( 0.54 %) $ 0.16 Current Price $ 29.66 3. Energizer Holdings controls a market nobody is racing into There's a reason Energizer Holdings (ENR +2.47%) doesn't get much coverage: Batteries are boring. Nobody is disrupting the alkaline battery market. No start-up is pivoting into AA cells. That is precisely what makes it an interesting long-term holding. Last year, the company bought Advanced Power Solutions, a major manufacturer of Panasonic-brand batteries in Europe. On its fiscal 2026 Q1 earnings call, the company said its transition of customers from the Panasonic brand to Energizer was well underway, and expected to contribute more than $30 million of organic growth this year. Three months earlier, in the fiscal Q4 earnings release, CEO Mark LaVigne said the company "delivered strong earnings in Fiscal 2025 by staying agile and focused in a volatile environment" -- and for fiscal 2026, pricing actions and production credits are expected to largely offset tariff-related headwinds while the APS integration adds incremental scale. What most investors miss when it comes to this company is the structural nature of battery demand. Every connected device, every remote, every flashlight runs on batteries. The secular trend toward connected devices doesn't hurt Energizerbecause the company also operates across adjacent categories like automotive products, giving it multiple avenues for demand. Today's Change ( 2.47 %) $ 0.48 Current Price $ 19.88 |

Pilgrim's Pride Q1 Earnings Coming Up: Key Insights for Investors | FMP Stock News | |
|
Original source text
Key Takeaways Pilgrim's Pride is converting a Big Bird commodity plant into a case-ready facility to support growth.Prepared foods sales remain solid, supported by strong branded performance across channels.Favorable chicken pricing drives chicken demand as competing protein costs rise significantly. As Pilgrim’s Pride Corporation (PPC - Free Report) prepares to unveil its first-quarter fiscal 2026 earnings on April 29, after market close, investors are eager to see if the company can beat market expectations.The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $4.5 billion, implying 0.8% growth from the prior year. Meanwhile, the consensus mark for earnings has been steady at 69 cents per share in the past seven days, though it indicates a decline of 47.3% from the year-ago period. PPC has a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 2.3%, on average. Key Factors to Observe for PPC's Q1 EarningsPilgrim's Pride has been benefiting from continued operational improvements across its segments, particularly within its Big Bird operations, where the company improved plant and live-operations efficiency. At the same time, the company is evolving its Fresh portfolio to support key customer growth. As part of this strategy, the company is converting a Big Bird commodity plant into a case-ready facility, a transition expected to enhance product offerings and better align operations with customer needs. Prepared Foods has been a key growth driver, with sales increasing 18% year over year in the fourth quarter of 2025, supported by strong branded performance across both retail and foodservice channels as brand-building initiatives continued to gain traction. In addition, PPC’s focus on innovation, particularly in bold flavor profiles, has resonated with consumers, with products such as its Cheesy Jalapeno Nugget line receiving category recognition at the People’s Food Awards. Favorable protein pricing dynamics are likely to have aided Pilgrim’s Pride. During the fourth quarter of 2025, chicken continued to offer a clear affordability advantage over competing proteins. While prices for certain chicken cuts softened, competing proteins, particularly ground beef, remained elevated. This widening price gap supported chicken demand as consumers continued to seek affordable protein options, driving volume growth across cuts, including boneless thighs. That said, the company may have faced profitability pressure from headwinds related to commodity pricing. What the Zacks Model Says About PPCOur proven model does not conclusively predict an earnings beat for PPC this time. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the odds of an earnings beat, which is not the case here.

Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions. Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Smithfield Foods, Inc. was favorable. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to outperform the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here. It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $0.76 on $3.62 billion in revenues for the coming quarter and $2.74 on $15.7 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year. Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Food - Meat Products is currently in the top 39% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1. Pilgrim's Pride (PPC - Free Report) , another stock in the same industry, has yet to report results for the quarter ended March 2026. The results are expected to be released on April 29. This poultry producer is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.69 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -47.3%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days. Pilgrim's Pride's revenues are expected to be $4.5 billion, up 0.8% from the year-ago quarter. |

GREELEY, Colo., April 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pilgrim’s Pride Corporation (NASDAQ: PPC), one of the world's leading food companies, reports its first quarter 2026 financial results.First Quarter Highlights Net Sales of $4.5 billion.Consolidated GAAP Operating Income margin of 3.6%.GAAP Net Income of $101.5 million and GAAP EPS of $0.43. Adjusted Net Income of $121.7 million, and Adjusted EPS of $0.51.Adjusted EBITDA of $308.1 million, or a 6.8% margin, with Adjusted EBITDA margins of 7.0% in the U.S., 7.8% in Europe, and 3.1% in Mexico.The U.S. Fresh business implemented several projects during the quarter to upgrade product mix and enhance operational efficiencies in Big Bird, while growing Key Customer partnerships. Together, these projects will reinforce the foundation of future growth while reducing portfolio volatility and increasing returns. The impacts from plant downtime and ramp up from these projects, along with weakened commodity fundamentals and disruptions from weather events, contributed to reduced profitability compared to last year.U.S. Prepared Foods growth continues to accelerate, with record retail volumes. Just Bare® continues to resonate throughout the marketplace as retail sales increased nearly 40% versus last year. To support this growth, the construction of the new value-added facility in Walker County, Georgia, remains on schedule.Europe maintained steady results compared to last year given its balanced portfolio across proteins and meal occasions. Rollover® continued to outpace the category average, whereas Fridge Raiders® maintained a steady presence in snacking. Back-office integration and network optimization continues to improve productivity and support further growth.Mexico grew its branded portfolio across Fresh and Prepared Foods, increasing volumes by more than 10% compared to last year. Geographical diversification also continues with ramp up of production in the South and Peninsula areas. Improved growing conditions in the live markets and increased imports compressed margins versus the first quarter of 2025.Significantly surpassed the Scope 1 & 2 emissions intensity reduction targets required for the 2025 performance milestone specified in the Sustainability-Linked Bond.Maintained strong liquidity position to support future growth opportunities as net leverage ratio is currently 1.25x Adjusted EBITDA, below the target of 2x to 3x. (Unaudited) Three Months Ended March 29, 2026 March 30, 2025 Y/Y Change (In millions, except per share and percentages)Net sales $4,532.6 $4,463.0 +1.6%U.S. GAAP EPS $0.43 $1.24 (65.3)%Operating income $162.6 $404.5 (59.8)%Adjusted EBITDA(1) $308.1 $533.2 (42.2)%Adjusted EBITDA margin(1) 6.8% 12.0% (5.2)pts (1) Reconciliations for non-U.S. GAAP measures are provided in subsequent sections within this release. “During the quarter, chicken demand continued to be healthy across all regions,” said Fabio Sandri, Pilgrim’s President and CEO. “Overall business fundamentals remained positive given chicken’s affordability, consumer momentum in retail and foodservice, and ample grain supplies. Equally important, we made significant progress on our growth and portfolio projects, reinforcing the foundation for a more resilient earnings profile.” In the first quarter, U.S. Fresh completed the conversion of Russellville, Ala., to a Case Ready plant to support growth of a key customer and implemented multiple operational excellence projects in Big Bird. Margins were challenged compared to the prior year given planned plant downtime, impact of winter storms, lower values for deli small birds, and decline in commodity cutout fundamentals. “Our operations underwent a significant amount of transition over the past several months,” said Sandri. “Not only will these investments reduce volatility of our portfolio, but they also further enhance our capabilities to meet growing demand from Key Customers in the upcoming months.” Growth in U.S. Prepared Foods accelerated as value-added offerings expanded across retail and foodservice. Just Bare® retail sales rose nearly 40% compared to last year given increased distribution and velocity. Construction of the company’s new facility in Walker County, Ga., remains on track. “Once complete, our Walker County facility will enhance margins and further drive sales growth for U.S. Prepared Foods,” Sandri commented. “It will also increase diversification within our U.S. business given our expansion in brands and valued-added products, ultimately creating more stable earnings.” In Europe, a balanced portfolio maintained steady volume and margins compared to last year amid declining consumer confidence. Within grocery, poultry and meals grew faster than the category averages, and demand from Key Customers remained stable. Back-office integration and network optimization continues to improve productivity and support further growth. “Europe’s performance reflects the benefits of diversification,” Sandri said. “As consumers became increasingly focused on value, many of our offerings throughout our portfolio were readily available to meet their needs across retail and foodservice.” Mexico continues to execute strategies for profitable growth. In Fresh, branded sales volumes increased double digits compared to last year. Margins were compressed due to increased supply levels, especially in the live commodity market, which persisted throughout the quarter. The ramp up of live operations in the South and Peninsula regions and the new line prepared foods line in Porvenir began on schedule. “Our investments in Mexico will drive growth and diversification through more value-added offerings and expanded geographic presence in the live commodity market,” said Sandri. Pilgrim’s also exceeded the Scope 1 & 2 emission intensity reduction targets specified within the Sustainability-Linked Bond for 2025. “Our achievement in emissions intensity reduction reflects our long-standing focus on driving sustainability throughout our business,” concluded Sandri. “We are proud to announce the achievement of the initial Scope 1 & 2 emissions intensity reduction targets called for in the bond; and, we will continue to drive sustainability through improved efficiencies, ultimately creating opportunities and a better future for our team members.” Conference Call Information A conference call to discuss Pilgrim’s quarterly results will be held tomorrow, April 30, at 7 a.m. MT (9 a.m. ET).

$542,415 $2,077,467 PILGRIM’S PRIDE CORPORATION Selected Financial Information (Unaudited) “EBITDA” is defined as the sum of net income plus interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. “Adjusted EBITDA” is calculated by adding to EBITDA certain items of expense and deducting from EBITDA certain items of income that we believe are not indicative of our ongoing operating performance consisting of: (1) foreign currency transaction losses (gains), (2) costs related to litigation settlements, (3) restructuring activities losses, and (4) net income attributable to noncontrolling interest. EBITDA is presented because it is used by management and we believe it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties, in addition to and not in lieu of results prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”), to compare the performance of companies. We believe investors would be interested in our Adjusted EBITDA because this is how our management analyzes EBITDA applicable to continuing operations. The Company also believes that Adjusted EBITDA, in combination with the Company’s financial results calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, provides investors with additional perspective regarding the impact of certain significant items on EBITDA and facilitates a more direct comparison of its performance with its competitors. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measurements of financial performance under U.S. GAAP. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for an analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. In addition, other companies in our industry may calculate these measures differently limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure. Because of these limitations, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income as indicators of our operating performance or any other measures of performance derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These limitations should be compensated for by relying primarily on our U.S. GAAP results and using EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA only on a supplemental basis.

|
Original source text
Pilgrim's Pride (PPC - Free Report) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.51 per share, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.69 per share. This compares to earnings of $1.31 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of -25.55%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this poultry producer would post earnings of $0.78 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.68, delivering a surprise of -12.82%. Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates two times. Pilgrim's Pride, which belongs to the Zacks Food - Meat Products industry, posted revenues of $4.53 billion for the quarter ended March 2026, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 0.73%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $4.46 billion. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates just once over the last four quarters. The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call. Pilgrim's Pride shares have lost about 15.7% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 4.3%. What's Next for Pilgrim's Pride?While Pilgrim's Pride has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock? There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately. Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions. Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Pilgrim's Pride was unfavorable. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to underperform the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here. It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $1.25 on $4.6 billion in revenues for the coming quarter and $4.14 on $18.5 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year. Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Food - Meat Products is currently in the bottom 15% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1. Another stock from the same industry, Tyson Foods (TSN - Free Report) , has yet to report results for the quarter ended March 2026. The results are expected to be released on May 4. This meat producer is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.81 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -12%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days. Tyson Foods' revenues are expected to be $13.8 billion, up 5.6% from the year-ago quarter. |

|
Original source text
On May 01, 2026, Pilgrims Pride Corp PPC shares fell 3.8% today, closing at $31.88. This decline adds to a challenging performance over the past month, with shares down 16.1%. The stock has traded between $30.67 and $51.45 over the last 52 weeks.GF Value™ verdict: The current price of $31.88 is 19.4% below the GF Value™ estimate of $39.55.GF Score™: PPC has a GF Score™ of 79/100, indicating it is above average in terms of its overall quality score.Most notable signal: Insider activity shows that insiders have sold $0.3M worth of shares in the last three months, with no reported buying. Is PPC Overvalued or Undervalued? Pilgrims Pride Corp's current price of $31.88 is significantly lower than the GF Value™ estimate of $39.55, suggesting the stock is undervalued by 19.4%. This margin of safety could indicate an opportunity for investors looking for undervalued stocks in the consumer packaged goods sector. However, it is essential to exercise caution given the broader trends in the stock’s recent performance, which has seen a notable decline this year. The GF Valuation label categorizes PPC as "Modestly Undervalued," reflecting its current pricing in relation to its intrinsic value. GF Value™ is GuruFocus' proprietary measure of intrinsic value, calculated from historical trading multiples, past business growth, and future performance estimates. This suggests that while there may be an attractive upside potential, the stock’s recent performance and market conditions should be closely monitored. How Does PPC's Valuation Compare to Its History? Metric Current Historical P/E (TTM) 8.6x 11.7x Forward P/E 7.9x N/A Pilgrims Pride Corp's current P/E (TTM) of 8.6x is significantly below its 5-year median P/E of 11.7x, indicating that the stock is trading at a lower valuation than it has historically. The forward P/E of 7.9x also supports the notion that PPC is undervalued. This P/E analysis aligns with the findings of the GF Value™, reinforcing the thesis that the stock presents a potential buying opportunity, albeit with the caveat of current market volatility.

The strongest aspect is its Valuation rank, which is rated at 10/10, signifying an attractive price relative to its intrinsic value. However, the Momentum rank at 2/10 highlights a significant weakness, indicating that the stock has been underperforming in terms of price movement recently. The Profitability rank of 8/10 suggests solid earnings potential, while the Financial Strength and Growth ranks of 6/10 indicate room for improvement in these areas. What Are Insiders Doing with PPC Stock? In the last three months, insider trading has shown a negative trend, with insiders selling approximately $0.3M worth of their shares and no recorded buying activity. This pattern may suggest a lack of confidence among insiders regarding the company's short-term prospects. While it's not uncommon for insiders to sell shares for various reasons, a lack of buying activity could raise concerns about future performance and investor sentiment.

With a current price of $31.88 compared to a GF Value™ of $39.55, there is a potential upside of 19.4%.

Pilgrim's Pride Corporation (PPC) is Attracting Investor Attention: Here is What You Should Know | FMP Stock News | |
|
Original source text
Pilgrim's Pride (PPC - Free Report) has been one of the most searched-for stocks on Zacks.com lately. So, you might want to look at some of the facts that could shape the stock's performance in the near term.Shares of this poultry producer have returned -17.3% over the past month versus the Zacks S&P 500 composite's +9.5% change. The Zacks Food - Meat Products industry, to which Pilgrim's Pride belongs, has lost 2.6% over this period. Now the key question is: Where could the stock be headed in the near term? While media releases or rumors about a substantial change in a company's business prospects usually make its stock 'trending' and lead to an immediate price change, there are always some fundamental facts that eventually dominate the buy-and-hold decision-making. Revisions to Earnings EstimatesRather than focusing on anything else, we at Zacks prioritize evaluating the change in a company's earnings projection. This is because we believe the fair value for its stock is determined by the present value of its future stream of earnings. We essentially look at how sell-side analysts covering the stock are revising their earnings estimates to reflect the impact of the latest business trends. And if earnings estimates go up for a company, the fair value for its stock goes up. A higher fair value than the current market price drives investors' interest in buying the stock, leading to its price moving higher. This is why empirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock price movements. For the current quarter, Pilgrim's Pride is expected to post earnings of $1.14 per share, indicating a change of -32.9% from the year-ago quarter. The Zacks Consensus Estimate has changed -8.8% over the last 30 days. For the current fiscal year, the consensus earnings estimate of $3.87 points to a change of -25.2% from the prior year. Over the last 30 days, this estimate has changed -10.1%. For the next fiscal year, the consensus earnings estimate of $3.74 indicates a change of -3.4% from what Pilgrim's Pride is expected to report a year ago. Over the past month, the estimate has changed -8.6%. With an impressive externally audited track record, our proprietary stock rating tool -- the Zacks Rank -- is a more conclusive indicator of a stock's near-term price performance, as it effectively harnesses the power of earnings estimate revisions. The size of the recent change in the consensus estimate, along with three other factors related to earnings estimates, has resulted in a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell) for Pilgrim's Pride. The chart below shows the evolution of the company's forward 12-month consensus EPS estimate: 12 Month EPS Projected Revenue GrowthWhile earnings growth is arguably the most superior indicator of a company's financial health, nothing happens as such if a business isn't able to grow its revenues. After all, it's nearly impossible for a company to increase its earnings for an extended period without increasing its revenues. So, it's important to know a company's potential revenue growth. For Pilgrim's Pride, the consensus sales estimate for the current quarter of $4.6 billion indicates a year-over-year change of -3.3%. For the current and next fiscal years, $18.5 billion and $18.7 billion estimates indicate +0% and +1.1% changes, respectively. Last Reported Results and Surprise HistoryPilgrim's Pride reported revenues of $4.53 billion in the last reported quarter, representing a year-over-year change of +1.6%. EPS of $0.51 for the same period compares with $1.31 a year ago. Compared to the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $4.5 billion, the reported revenues represent a surprise of +0.73%. The EPS surprise was -26.09%. Over the last four quarters, Pilgrim's Pride surpassed consensus EPS estimates two times. The company topped consensus revenue estimates just once over this period. ValuationWithout considering a stock's valuation, no investment decision can be efficient. In predicting a stock's future price performance, it's crucial to determine whether its current price correctly reflects the intrinsic value of the underlying business and the company's growth prospects. Comparing the current value of a company's valuation multiples, such as its price-to-earnings (P/E), price-to-sales (P/S), and price-to-cash flow (P/CF), to its own historical values helps ascertain whether its stock is fairly valued, overvalued, or undervalued, whereas comparing the company relative to its peers on these parameters gives a good sense of how reasonable its stock price is. The Zacks Value Style Score (part of the Zacks Style Scores system), which pays close attention to both traditional and unconventional valuation metrics to grade stocks from A to F (an A is better than a B; a B is better than a C; and so on), is pretty helpful in identifying whether a stock is overvalued, rightly valued, or temporarily undervalued. Pilgrim's Pride is graded A on this front, indicating that it is trading at a discount to its peers. Click here to see the values of some of the valuation metrics that have driven this grade. Bottom LineThe facts discussed here and much other information on Zacks.com might help determine whether or not it's worthwhile paying attention to the market buzz about Pilgrim's Pride. However, its Zacks Rank #5 does suggest that it may underperform the broader market in the near term. |

Is the Options Market Predicting a Spike in Pilgrim's Pride Stock? | FMP Stock News | |
|
Original source text
Investors in Pilgrim's Pride Corporation (PPC - Free Report) need to pay close attention to the stock based on moves in the options market lately. That is because the June 18, 2026 $25.00 Call had some of the highest implied volatility of all equity options today.What is Implied Volatility?Implied volatility shows how much movement the market is expecting in the future. Options with high levels of implied volatility suggest that investors in the underlying stocks are expecting a big move in one direction or the other. It could also mean there is an event coming up soon that may cause a big rally or a huge sell-off. However, implied volatility is only one piece of the puzzle when putting together an options trading strategy. What do the Analysts Think?Clearly, options traders are pricing in a big move for Pilgrim's Pride, but what is the fundamental picture for the company? Currently, Pilgrim's Pride is a Zacks Rank #5 (Hold) in the Food - Meat Products industry that ranks in the Bottom 14% of our Zacks Industry Rank. Over the last 60 days, no analyst has increased his earnings estimate for the current quarter, while none have dropped their estimates. The net effect has taken our Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current quarter from $1.25 per shareto $1.14 in that period. Given the way analysts feel about Pilgrim's Pride right now, this huge implied volatility could mean there’s a trade developing. Oftentimes, options traders look for options with high levels of implied volatility to sell premium. This is a strategy many seasoned traders use because it captures decay. At expiration, the hope for these traders is that the underlying stock does not move as much as originally expected. |

Earnings Estimate RevisionsHere at Zacks, we prioritize appraising the change in the projection of a company's future earnings over anything else. That's because we believe the present value of its future stream of earnings is what determines the fair value for its stock. We essentially look at how sell-side analysts covering the stock are revising their earnings estimates to reflect the impact of the latest business trends. And if earnings estimates go up for a company, the fair value for its stock goes up. A higher fair value than the current market price drives investors' interest in buying the stock, leading to its price moving higher. This is why empirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock price movements. Pilgrim's Pride is expected to post earnings of $0.97 per share for the current quarter, representing a year-over-year change of -42.9%. Over the last 30 days, the Zacks Consensus Estimate has changed -22.8%. The consensus earnings estimate of $3.52 for the current fiscal year indicates a year-over-year change of -31.9%. This estimate has changed -15.1% over the last 30 days. For the next fiscal year, the consensus earnings estimate of $3.66 indicates a change of +4.1% from what Pilgrim's Pride is expected to report a year ago. Over the past month, the estimate has changed -6.9%. With an impressive externally audited track record, our proprietary stock rating tool -- the Zacks Rank -- is a more conclusive indicator of a stock's near-term price performance, as it effectively harnesses the power of earnings estimate revisions. The size of the recent change in the consensus estimate, along with three other factors related to earnings estimates, has resulted in a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell) for Pilgrim's Pride. The chart below shows the evolution of the company's forward 12-month consensus EPS estimate: 12 Month EPS Projected Revenue GrowthWhile earnings growth is arguably the most superior indicator of a company's financial health, nothing happens as such if a business isn't able to grow its revenues. After all, it's nearly impossible for a company to increase its earnings for an extended period without increasing its revenues. So, it's important to know a company's potential revenue growth. In the case of Pilgrim's Pride, the consensus sales estimate of $4.9 billion for the current quarter points to a year-over-year change of +3%. The $18.7 billion and $19.2 billion estimates for the current and next fiscal years indicate changes of +1.1% and +2.7%, respectively. Last Reported Results and Surprise HistoryPilgrim's Pride reported revenues of $4.53 billion in the last reported quarter, representing a year-over-year change of +1.6%. EPS of $0.51 for the same period compares with $1.31 a year ago. Compared to the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $4.5 billion, the reported revenues represent a surprise of +0.73%. The EPS surprise was -26.09%. Over the last four quarters, Pilgrim's Pride surpassed consensus EPS estimates two times. The company topped consensus revenue estimates just once over this period. ValuationWithout considering a stock's valuation, no investment decision can be efficient. In predicting a stock's future price performance, it's crucial to determine whether its current price correctly reflects the intrinsic value of the underlying business and the company's growth prospects. Comparing the current value of a company's valuation multiples, such as its price-to-earnings (P/E), price-to-sales (P/S), and price-to-cash flow (P/CF), to its own historical values helps ascertain whether its stock is fairly valued, overvalued, or undervalued, whereas comparing the company relative to its peers on these parameters gives a good sense of how reasonable its stock price is. The Zacks Value Style Score (part of the Zacks Style Scores system), which pays close attention to both traditional and unconventional valuation metrics to grade stocks from A to F (an A is better than a B; a B is better than a C; and so on), is pretty helpful in identifying whether a stock is overvalued, rightly valued, or temporarily undervalued. Pilgrim's Pride is graded A on this front, indicating that it is trading at a discount to its peers. Click here to see the values of some of the valuation metrics that have driven this grade. Bottom LineThe facts discussed here and much other information on Zacks.com might help determine whether or not it's worthwhile paying attention to the market buzz about Pilgrim's Pride. However, its Zacks Rank #5 does suggest that it may underperform the broader market in the near term. |
