UMB Financial (UMBF) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
UMB Financial Corp (UMBF) exhibits a strong potential for core fee income growth, particularly through increased market share in its fund services and institutional businesses, which are expected to benefit from continued top-line production momentum. The company has demonstrated an 11% increase in residential mortgage balances and anticipates enhancements in revenue quality supported by its recent geographic expansion and the acquisition of Heartland Financial. Moreover, the forecasted earnings per share (EPS) for 2026 has been upwardly revised to $11.75, driven by improved loan growth contributions and a favorable outlook for credit quality and revenue growth across its diversified fee income segments.
Bears say
UMB Financial Corp faces several downside risks that underpin a negative outlook for its stock. Key concerns include the potential for merger-related costs causing dis-synergies, a flat core net interest margin (NIM) projected for the fourth quarter, and revised down consensus earnings per share for 2026, indicating slowing growth expectations from $11.33 to $11.05 before stabilizing at $11.38. Additionally, operational risks related to potential integration challenges and misjudged credit risks from acquisitions could negatively impact future earnings, especially given the company's high proportion of variable rate loans and the current environment of rising deposit costs.
