Upturn Advisory & Investor View for SBCF

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

Seacoast Banking Corporation of Florida is a regionally focused financial institution providing commercial and retail banking services primarily across Florida. The company benefits from its deep-rooted presence in high-growth Florida markets and has historically utilized a strategic M&A approach to scale its operations. While the bank’s community-focused service model provides a competitive advantage in customer retention, it faces risks related to geographic concentration and intense competition from large national banks. The company may suit value and dividend-focused investors, though growth remains tied to acquisition success and regional economic conditions. Investors should monitor the integration of recent acquisitions and the impact of interest rate cycles on net interest margins.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
SBCF receives a 4-star rating, supported by solid unit economics, and solid company fundamentals. The rating is constrained by weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
SBCF has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with moderate financial health, moderate growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, solid earnings growth (+19.7%) and strong cash generation (FCF margin 20.6%) are partially offset by moderate revenue growth (+7.5%), modest insider ownership of 1.32%.

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
SBCF's financial health is supported by solid cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation (20.6% of revenue). Liquidity is moderate (3 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Earnings growth is SBCF's strongest growth driver at +19.7% FY2025 versus FY2024 (solid, 4 stars). Revenue growth (+7.5%, moderate) and free-cash-flow growth (+1.7%, moderate) are also constructive, though not equally high across every growth measure.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 93.9% and approximately 97.5% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 1.32% provides only moderate management-shareholder alignment.

★★★★★
SBCF generates approximately $616 of gross profit, $214 of operating income, and $206 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 weak.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 22.32%

Quantitative Style Profile
