First Bancorp: Not Good Enough For A Bullish Outlook

First Bancorp has grown deposits and improved asset quality, but revenue and profit growth have been inconsistent over recent years. Recent improvements in net interest income is positive, but years of weak performance temper my enthusiasm. The stock remains expensive on a price-to-earnings basis, even with improved forecasts, making it less attractive for value investors like myself.

Possible NIM Expansion And Stable Asset Quality Make First BanCorp A Buy

First BanCorp offers an attractive entry point, with near-term NIM tailwinds and stable asset quality supporting a buy rating, despite geographic concentration risks. Recent results show strong NII growth, improved efficiency ratio, and deposit resilience, offsetting modest loan book contraction and a one-off NPA increase. Ongoing asset repricing should drive further NIM expansion and higher ROE, enhancing profitability as efficiency initiatives take hold.
