Upturn Advisory & Investor View for ACNB

09/15/2026: ACNB (2-star) has a low Upturn Star Rating. Not recommended to BUY.

ACNB Corporation is a traditional regional bank holding company serving communities in Pennsylvania and Maryland. The company benefits from a long-standing reputation, a stable deposit base, and an integrated insurance subsidiary that provides diversified, non-interest income. Its primary investment story centers on steady growth through regional expansion and maintaining strong local relationships. Risks include geographic concentration, interest rate sensitivity, and competition from larger national players with advanced digital capabilities. The stock may best suit dividend-oriented investors seeking stable, long-term exposure to the regional banking sector, though investors should closely monitor regional economic health and future acquisition integration success.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

ACNB receives a 4-star rating, supported by strong unit economics, and solid company fundamentals. The rating is constrained by weak price momentum, and limited analyst upside.

Company Fundamentals

ACNB has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with solid financial health, solid growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, solid earnings growth (+16.3%) and strong cash generation (FCF margin 30.9%) are partially offset by modest insider ownership of 3.91%.

Financial Health Rating

ACNB's financial health is supported by solid cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation (30.9% of revenue). Liquidity is moderate (3 stars), which helps explain the 4-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

Free-cash-flow growth is ACNB's strongest growth driver at +35.4% FY2025 versus FY2024 (strong, 5 stars). Revenue growth (+28.9%, solid) and earnings growth (+16.3%, solid) are also constructive, though not equally high across every growth measure.

Ownership

Institutional ownership is 41.3% and approximately 96.0% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 3.91% provides only moderate management-shareholder alignment.

Vanguard Capital Management, LLC 4.21%
FMR Inc 3.58%
Private Capital Management, LLC 3.55%
Dimensional Fund Advisors, Inc. 3.48%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

ACNB generates approximately $737 of gross profit, $273 of operating income, and $309 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Strong cash conversion and healthy margins support the rating, although capital efficiency remains below the highest tier.

Economic Dimensions

Effective Tax Rate: 20.24%

Quantitative Style Profile

ACNB has a high-quality, liquid profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback.
