Glacier Bancorp: A Subdued Q1 2025, But I Remain Optimistic
Summary Glacier Bancorp has a competitive advantage in Montana and Idaho, with low deposit costs and high creditworthiness customers, making it a solid investment. Despite a disappointing Q1 2025 due to seasonality and payoffs, management expects loan growth and improved net interest margins for FY 2025. GBCI's dividend yield is 3.23%, with a history of 160 consecutive quarterly payments, though EPS decline has raised concerns. Current price is attractive, with tangible book value 13% below the 3-year average, making GBCI a buy despite macroeconomic risks. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaSeeking Alpha • Jan 15
Glacier Bancorp: Bank Of Idaho Acquisition Benefits Seem Priced In
Summary I’m estimating the upcoming Bank of Idaho acquisition to lift the loan book by 5.8% and the net interest margin by 7 basis points in the second quarter of 2025. Glacier Bancorp’s earnings will likely also benefit from a resurgence of mortgage banking income amid a falling interest rate environment. I’m expecting EPS to grow to $2.35 in 2025 from an estimated $1.70 in 2024. The December 2025 target price suggests a small downside from the current market price. Further, GBCI is offering a low dividend yield of 2.6%. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaSeeking Alpha • Sep 18

Summary Glacier Bancorp's strong exposure to CRE loans and stagnant dividend growth make it a hold, despite solid deposits and competitive advantage in deposit costs. Organic loan growth has significantly slowed, and the securities portfolio is being sidelined due to high unrealized losses. The potential Fed Funds Rate cut could boost loan demand, but the economic outlook remains uncertain and risky for GBCI. GBCI's dividend yield is low and lacks growth, making it less attractive compared to the S&P 500 over the past decade. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha
