Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corp (PGC) is not a strong buy at the moment for a beginner investor with a long-term strategy. While the company has shown strong financial growth and analysts have increased price targets, the lack of immediate positive trading signals, neutral insider and hedge fund activity, and a slightly bearish short-term stock trend suggest that waiting for a more favorable entry point would be prudent.
The stock's MACD is negative and expanding downward, indicating bearish momentum. RSI is neutral at 54.876, and moving averages are bullish (SMA_5 > SMA_20 > SMA_200). Key support is at $33.37, and resistance is at $35.409. However, the pre-market price of $34.1 is below the pivot point of $34.39, suggesting limited upward momentum in the short term.
Analysts have increased price targets, with Keefe Bruyette raising the target to $40 and Piper Sandler highlighting robust growth potential from NYC expansion.
Strong financial performance in Q3 2025, with revenue, net income, and EPS all showing significant YoY growth.
Neutral sentiment from hedge funds and insiders, with no significant trading trends.
Short-term stock trend analysis indicates a likelihood of negative returns in the next day, week, and month.
No recent congress trading data or influential figure activity to suggest confidence in the stock.
In Q3 2025, the company reported a 23.70% YoY increase in revenue to $68.6M, a 26.94% YoY increase in net income to $9.63M, and a 25.58% YoY increase in EPS to $0.54. This demonstrates strong growth trends.
Analysts are bullish on PGC, with Keefe Bruyette raising the price target to $40 and Piper Sandler raising it to $32. Both firms maintain positive ratings, citing robust growth potential from the company's NYC expansion and improved profitability.
