Provident Financial Services completed its Lakeland Bancorp merger, driving strong growth in deposits, loans, and share price performance. The bank remains attractively valued, trading below peers on earnings and book value multiples, supporting a continued bullish stance.

Provident Financial Services: 3 Reasons Why I Wouldn't Buy This Bank
Provident Financial Services offers a high, sustainable 5.39% dividend yield, but lacks potential for capital gains and dividend growth. I avoid PFS due to its excessive CRE loan concentration (443%), high loan-to-deposit ratio (102%), and deteriorating deposit composition. The bank's balance sheet is inflexible, with slow loan growth and rising non-performing loans, limiting its ability to capitalize on opportunities.
