Bank OZK: Still A Steal Post-Q1 Results
Summary
- Like so many banks, shares of Bank OZK have struggled lately.
- OZK recently released Q1 2025 results. Profitability remains stellar, and credit quality is holding up well.
- OZK's lending skews more to construction, while loans also account for a relatively large share of its assets. In periods of economic uncertainty, that can lead to underperformance.
- OZK currently trades for less than 1x TBVPS. For a bank that has historically averaged a mid-teens ROATCE, that looks like a steal.
