Keefe, Bruyette & Woods analyst Catherine Mealor reiterated an Outperform rating and $65.00 price target on FB Financial (NYSE: FBK).

The analyst commented: "Lower deposit costs, stable NIM, strong loan/deposit growth, lower expenses and accelerated buyback activity should all have a positive impact on forward PPNR and support the shares, which have relatively underperformed YTD (flat). A higher provision is an offset, but largely growth-related, and NPAs are just up modestly to 1.14%. We believe shares will be up tomorrow, trading at 1.9x TBV and 11x EPS."
