FB Financial: Stock Is Down, But A Dividend Machine

  • FB Financial Corporation's Q1 earnings report shows strong performance with a 21.6% revenue increase, solid margins, and improved return metrics, despite sector-wide stock retracement. The pending merger with Southern States Bancshares is a net positive, expected to add 15 branches and enhance growth in Alabama and Georgia. FBK stock is currently rated a hold, but the increasing dividend yield and potential for further weakness make it a compelling future buy.
