OFG Bancorp Performance: OFG Bancorp shares have underperformed recently, with a 90-day return of -8.75% and a year-to-date return of -2.72%, despite the bank's revenue growth and profitability.
Valuation Insights: The current share price of $40.47 is below analyst targets, suggesting potential undervaluation, with a fair value estimated at $50, contingent on growth and margin assumptions.
Growth Drivers: The bank's digital banking expansion is enhancing customer engagement and operational efficiency, which may lead to improved net margins and revenue growth in the future.
Risks and Considerations: Competition for loans and deposits, along with economic vulnerabilities in Puerto Rico, pose risks that could impact margins and the bank's valuation outlook.

Wells Fargo analyst Timur Braziler lowered the firm's price target on OFG Bancorp to $43 from $48 and keeps an Equal Weight rating on the shares. The firm sees tough stretch ahead, as rate cuts plus heightened deposit competition likely weigh on net interest income through much of the first half of 2026.

Wells Fargo analyst Timur Braziler lowered the firm's price target on First BanCorp (FBP) to $23 from $25 and keeps an Overweight rating on the shares. The firm remains bullish on the name on best ROTCE and capital return story in PR, despite increased deposit competition from OFG (OFG) and rate cuts weighing on the net interest income outlook. PR economy continues to diverge from the mainland, and First BanCorp should benefit, Wells argues.
downgrade
$50 -> $48
Reason
Truist analyst Arren Cyganovich lowered the firm's price target on OFG Bancorp to $48 from $50 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares after its Q3 earnings miss. Two areas impacted results during the quarter - higher credit costs and net interest margin - though with that said, the driver of the more conservative net interest margin guide was partly due to chunky commercial loan repayments and partly due to retail deposit customer acquisitions, the analyst tells investors in a research note.
Outperform
maintain
$51 -> $50
Reason
Keefe Bruyette lowered the firm's price target on OFG Bancorp to $50 from $51 and keeps an Outperform rating on the shares post the Q3 report. The firm still likes OFG's positioning as the "challenger bank" in Puerto Rico.
