Provident Financial Is Relatively Safe From Tariff Challenges And Offering A 5.8% Dividend Yield

  • PFS currently has a very large loan pipeline that is ~15% of loans outstanding. Therefore, loan growth will likely remain decent this year despite the tariffs. The net interest margin is largely unaffected by interest rate changes, which is a plus point in the current uncertain environment. The bond market turbulence will significantly reduce the market value of PFS' securities, which will diminish the equity book value.
