Upturn Advisory & Investor View for GSBC

10/23/2026: GSBC (2-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

Great Southern Bancorp is a stable, Midwest-focused regional bank that offers a traditional suite of retail and commercial banking services. The company's strengths include a long-standing reputation for conservative asset quality and consistent dividend payments, making it a potentially suitable choice for income-oriented value investors. Its growth story is built on steady organic performance and strategic market expansion within its regional footprint. However, the bank faces risks related to geographic concentration, interest rate sensitivity, and intensifying competition from national and digital-first financial institutions. Investors should monitor the company's ability to navigate the interest rate cycle, manage its loan portfolio, and successfully execute digital transformations to sustain competitive relevance.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
GSBC receives a 3-star rating, supported by solid unit economics, and solid company fundamentals. The rating is constrained by soft analyst coverage, weak price momentum, and limited analyst upside.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
GSBC has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with moderate financial health, solid growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, solid earnings growth (+14.8%) and strong cash generation (FCF margin 19.3%) are partially offset by slightly negative revenue growth (-3.4%).

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
GSBC's financial health is supported by solid cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation (19.3% of revenue). Liquidity is moderate (3 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Free-cash-flow growth is GSBC's strongest growth driver at +69.2% FY2025 versus FY2024 (strong, 5 stars). By comparison, earnings growth (+14.8%, solid) is also solid, while revenue growth (-3.4%, slightly negative) holds the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 52.7% and approximately 71.5% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 28.52% supports management-shareholder alignment.

BlackRock Inc 7.09%
Dimensional Fund Advisors, Inc. 6.42%
Vanguard Capital Management, LLC 3.49%
State Street Corp 3.37%
American Century Companies Inc 3.10%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
GSBC generates approximately $669 of gross profit, $254 of operating income, and $193 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Strong margins and solid cash conversion support the rating, although capital efficiency remains soft.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 18.70%

Quantitative Style Profile

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