Upturn Advisory & Investor View for PB

09/28/2026: PB (1-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

Prosperity Bancshares is a well-established regional financial holding company known for its disciplined approach to growth through strategic acquisitions within Texas and Oklahoma. The bank maintains a strong focus on traditional retail and commercial banking, supported by a conservative credit culture and high operational efficiency. Its main investment appeal lies in its reliable dividend and track record of disciplined capital management. However, investors should monitor risks related to its geographic concentration and sensitivity to interest rate fluctuations. This stock is best suited for income-focused or value-oriented investors who prioritize long-term stability and consistent performance over rapid, speculative growth.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

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

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
PB has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with solid financial health, moderate growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, solid earnings growth (+13.2%) and strong cash generation (FCF margin 29.7%) are partially offset by slightly negative revenue growth (-0.2%), modest insider ownership of 3.55%.

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
PB's financial health is supported by strong profitability, including gross margin of 71.9% and operating margin of 39.9%. Liquidity is moderate (3 stars), which helps explain the 4-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Free-cash-flow growth is PB's strongest growth driver at +14.5% FY2025 versus FY2024 (solid, 4 stars). By comparison, earnings growth (+13.2%, solid) is also solid, while revenue growth (-0.2%, slightly negative) holds the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 75.4% and approximately 91.1% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 3.55% provides only moderate management-shareholder alignment.

Top 5 Institutional Investors

BlackRock Inc 7.81%
AQR Capital Management LLC 5.27%
Vanguard Portfolio Management, LLC 4.67%
State Street Corp 4.24%
Dimensional Fund Advisors, Inc. 4.22%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
PB generates approximately $719 of gross profit, $399 of operating income, and $297 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: 21.73%

Quantitative Style Profile

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