Upturn Advisory & Investor View for PB

10/26/2026: PB (1-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

Prosperity Bancshares Inc is a stable regional banking institution primarily serving markets in Texas and Oklahoma. The bank is recognized for its disciplined 'buy-and-build' acquisition strategy, strong credit quality, and operational efficiency, which have supported consistent long-term growth. Its main investment appeal lies in its reliable dividend history and cautious management approach, making it a potential fit for income-focused and value-oriented investors. However, the company faces risks from its geographic concentration, energy sector exposure, and the ongoing need to modernize its digital infrastructure. Investors should monitor the integration of future acquisitions and the bank's ability to maintain margins in shifting interest rate environments.

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 3.54%.

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
PB's financial health is supported by solid 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 76.2% and approximately 91.1% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 3.54% provides only moderate management-shareholder alignment.

Top 5 Institutional Investors

BlackRock Inc 8.52%
AQR Capital Management LLC 5.25%
Vanguard Portfolio Management, LLC 5.17%
State Street Corp 4.56%
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.
