Nicholas Holowko has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight SouthState Corporation’s potential for growth. Despite a softer net interest margin (NIM) that has impacted shares, the company has shown strong loan production and a robust pipeline, particularly in its three largest markets. This underlying momentum suggests a positive trajectory for the company.
Holowko notes that the acceleration in fee income and disciplined expense management are additional positives. While there is a slight downward adjustment in earnings per share estimates due to lower net interest income, the focus on organic growth and the potential for mid to upper single-digit loan growth in 2026 are promising. The company’s capital position remains strong, and the margin reset could be beneficial for the stock’s future performance.
In another report released yesterday, KBW also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a $120.00 price target.
Based on the recent corporate insider activity of 68 insiders, corporate insider sentiment is negative on the stock. This means that over the past quarter there has been an increase of insiders selling their shares of SSB in relation to earlier this year.
