Upturn Advisory & Investor View for BY

10/02/2026: BY (2-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

Byline Bancorp Inc is a regional bank focused on providing commercial and retail banking services, particularly within the Chicago metropolitan area. The company has a notable position in government-guaranteed lending, which provides a consistent source of non-interest income. Its primary growth story revolves around deep relationships with small and mid-sized businesses and disciplined regional expansion. However, risks include geographic concentration, interest rate sensitivity, and intense competition for deposits. The stock may best suit value or dividend-focused investors seeking exposure to the regional banking sector. Monitoring future loan portfolio quality and the evolution of digital service offerings remains essential for long-term evaluation.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
BY receives a 4-star rating, supported by strong unit economics, and solid company fundamentals. The rating is constrained by weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
BY has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with solid financial health, moderate growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, moderate earnings growth (+7.7%) and strong cash generation (FCF margin 21.7%) are partially offset by moderate revenue growth (+1.3%).

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
BY's financial health is supported by solid cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation (21.7% of revenue). Liquidity is moderate (3 stars), which helps explain the 4-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Earnings growth is BY's strongest growth driver at +7.7% FY2025 versus FY2024 (moderate, 3 stars). By comparison, while free-cash-flow growth (-20.4%, negative) holds the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 56.6% and approximately 71.8% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 27.75% supports management-shareholder alignment.

Top 5 Institutional Investors

BlackRock Inc 7.77%
Dimensional Fund Advisors, Inc. 5.37%
T. Rowe Price Investment Management,Inc. 3.31%
Vanguard Capital Management, LLC 2.64%
State Street Corp 2.41%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
BY generates approximately $661 of gross profit, $291 of operating income, and $217 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: 24.94%

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
BY has a high-quality, liquid, relatively low-volatility profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback.
