Upturn Advisory & Investor View for LCNB

11/02/2026: LCNB (2-star) has a low Upturn Star Rating. Not recommended to BUY.

LCNB Corporation is a long-standing regional bank holding company based in Ohio, offering traditional retail and commercial banking services. The company is known for its conservative approach to lending and commitment to consistent dividend payments, making it a potential fit for income-oriented investors. While it holds a stable position in its local markets, it faces significant risks from geographic concentration and competitive pressures from larger financial institutions. The primary growth story revolves around digital optimization and selective regional expansion. Investors should monitor shifts in interest rate policy and regional economic health, as these factors materially impact the company's net interest margins and asset quality.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
LCNB receives a 4-star rating, supported by strong unit economics, solid company fundamentals, and solid quantitative characteristics. The rating is constrained by soft analyst coverage, weak price momentum, and limited analyst upside.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
LCNB has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with moderate financial health, moderate growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, strong earnings growth (+71.4%) and strong cash generation (FCF margin 26.9%) are partially offset by slightly negative revenue growth (-0.9%).

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
LCNB's financial health is supported by solid cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation (26.9% of revenue). Liquidity is moderate (3 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Earnings growth is LCNB's strongest growth driver at +71.4% FY2025 versus FY2024 (strong, 5 stars). By comparison, while revenue growth (-0.9%, slightly negative) and free-cash-flow growth (-62.6%, negative) hold the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 51.6% and approximately 94.4% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 5.67% supports management-shareholder alignment.

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
LCNB generates approximately $723 of gross profit, $227 of operating income, and $269 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: 17.87%

Quantitative Style Profile

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