First BanCorp: No Upgrade Ahead Of Earnings
First BanCorp is a high-quality business with strong fundamentals, but its valuation is high, making it a 'hold' despite attractive earnings multiples. The company's net interest income grew in 2024, but non-interest income and net profits declined due to increased costs and one-time gains in 2023. First BanCorp's balance sheet has strengthened with increased deposits, loans, and cash, but its securities value fell, and debt decreased slightly.

First BanCorp: Bond Market Turbulence, Expected Tourism Slowdown Seems Priced-In
I'm expecting loan growth to decelerate this year, as a possible recession in the mainland United States can hurt the tourism industry in Puerto Rico. Low-yielding securities are set to mature this year, which will provide First BanCorp a good opportunity to reinvest in higher-yielding assets, thereby raising the margin. I'm raising my provision expense estimate and, therefore, reducing my earnings estimate for 2025.
