Upturn Advisory & Investor View for GBCI

11/06/2026: GBCI (3-star) is a STRONG-BUY. BUY for 8 days. Simulated Profits (0.10%). Updated daily EoD!

Glacier Bancorp is a regional bank holding company that utilizes a decentralized strategy to provide commercial and consumer banking services across the Western United States. Its primary strength lies in maintaining strong local brand loyalty through a history of steady, accretive acquisitions. The core investment story centers on the bank's long-term stability and its history of reliable dividend payments. However, the company faces risks related to interest rate sensitivity, commercial real estate exposure, and competition from both national institutions and fintechs. Glacier Bancorp may best suit value-oriented or dividend-focused investors who should monitor its ongoing acquisition efficiency and regional economic performance.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

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

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
GBCI has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with moderate financial health, solid growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, solid earnings growth (+25.7%) and strong cash generation (FCF margin 24.4%) are partially offset by very low insider ownership of 0.53%.

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
GBCI's financial health is supported by solid cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation (24.4% of revenue). Liquidity is moderate (3 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Free-cash-flow growth is GBCI's strongest growth driver at +65.7% FY2025 versus FY2024 (strong, 5 stars). Revenue growth (+14.5%, solid) and earnings growth (+25.7%, solid) are also constructive, though not equally high across every growth measure.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 89.7% and approximately 99.5% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership is only 0.53%, which materially reduces the ownership score.

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
GBCI generates approximately $690 of gross profit, $229 of operating income, and $244 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 weak.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 17.65%

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
GBCI has a liquid, relatively low-volatility profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback, while valuation that is moderately attractive rather than deeply discounted.
