Seeking Alpha • Aug 18First Bancorp upgraded to Overweight at Piper after YTD underperformanceFirst Bancorp (NASDAQ:FBNC) stock has gained 2.6% in Thursday morning trading after Piper Sandler analyst Stephen Scouten upgraded the stock to Overweight from Neutral after it has underperformed by ~11% so far this year. FBNC stock is now trading at a price/Piper 2023 EPS multiple of ~9x vs. ~10x for the rest of Scouten's coverage. The analyst is lowering earnings estimates "for greater expense lift from here" as all cost savings from First Bancorp's (FBNC) acquisition of Select Bancorp have been realized. Note that in June 2022, the bank agreed to acquire GrandSouth Bancorporation (OTCQX:GRRB) for $181.1M in stock.

His Overweight rating comes in more bullish than the Quant system's Hold rating and aligns with the average Wall Street rating of Buy
