Upturn Advisory & Investor View for ACNB

11/13/2026: ACNB (2-star) has a low Upturn Star Rating. Not recommended to BUY.

ACNB Corporation is a long-standing community-focused financial institution that provides banking, insurance, and wealth management services to customers in Pennsylvania and Maryland. The company benefits from a strong local brand, conservative credit management, and diversified revenue streams. Its primary growth opportunity lies in regional expansion and the continued adoption of digital tools to enhance service delivery. Risks include geographic concentration, interest rate volatility, and intense competition from both larger regional players and evolving digital-first providers. ACNB is generally well-suited for income-focused investors who value long-term stability and consistent dividend history, though they should monitor interest rate cycles and regional economic performance closely.

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 4.11%.

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 46.1% and approximately 96.0% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 4.11% provides only moderate management-shareholder alignment.

★★★★★
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 margins and strong cash conversion support the rating, although capital efficiency remains soft.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 20.24%

Quantitative Style Profile

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