Sandy Spring Bancorp: Not Bad, But There's Better Out There

Summary Sandy Spring Bancorp has grown its deposit base and loan value but suffers from declining net interest income and asset quality issues.

Sandy Spring Bancorp Likely Range-Bound Until Rates Drop

Summary Sandy Spring Bancorp is still struggling with the pressures of higher funding costs, with weaker net interest income and adverse fixed cost leverage leading to much lower earnings. Despite concerns about CRE credit losses, Sandy Spring's credit quality is holding up relatively well, with manageable stress in the portfolio.
