Upturn Advisory & Investor View for PNBK

11/09/2026: PNBK (1-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

Patriot National Bancorp is a micro-cap regional bank holding company providing community banking services in the New York-Connecticut area. Its primary strengths are a localized relationship-based lending model and a growing fee-based income stream from digital payment partnerships. The primary investment story rests on whether management can stabilize its balance sheet and generate consistent profitability despite regional economic pressures. Key risks include intense deposit competition, concentration in commercial real estate, and ongoing earnings volatility. The stock may best suit speculative investors who understand the risks of micro-cap regional banks, as investors should monitor progress in loan quality and the sustainability of its digital fee initiatives.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
PNBK receives a 3-star rating based on the available scored pillars. The rating is constrained by soft unit economics, and weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
PNBK has moderate overall fundamentals (3 stars), with soft financial health, moderate growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, strong earnings growth (+68.1%) is partially offset by weak cash generation (FCF margin -24.7%), slightly negative revenue growth (-4.0%), weak profitability (net margin -21.9%).

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
PNBK's financial health is soft, with the relatively strongest area being soft efficiency, including operating-expense and cost-of-revenue discipline (opex 69.8% of revenue). Overall financial-health metrics support a 2-star score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Earnings growth is PNBK's strongest growth driver at +68.1% FY2025 versus FY2024 (strong, 5 stars). By comparison, while revenue growth (-4.0%, slightly negative) and free-cash-flow growth (-645.7%, negative) hold the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 14.8% and approximately 52.9% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 33.08% supports management-shareholder alignment.

Angel Oak Capital Advisors, LLC 2.04%
CI Private Wealth LLC 1.47%
Geode Capital Management, LLC 0.75%
Millennium Management LLC 0.58%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
PNBK generates approximately $480 of gross profit, $-218 of operating income, and $-247 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Operating losses and cash burn explain the 2-star rating, with weak cash conversion and moderate capital efficiency.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: -0.47% (Tax Credit)

Quantitative Style Profile

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