Upturn Advisory & Investor View for SRCE

09/16/2026: SRCE (2-star) has a low Upturn Star Rating. Not recommended to BUY.

1st Source Corporation is a stable, Midwest-focused regional bank known for its conservative lending culture and a unique national specialization in transportation equipment finance. The company excels by blending traditional relationship-based community banking with diversified, higher-yield specialized lending. Its primary growth opportunity lies in scaling its specialized finance niches and digital banking services. However, investors must monitor risks related to economic cycles in the Midwest and potential interest rate volatility that could impact net interest margins. The stock is best suited for value and dividend-oriented investors seeking a consistent, long-term holding with a historically reliable record of dividend payments.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

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

Company Fundamentals

SRCE has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with solid financial health, solid growth momentum, and strong ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, solid earnings growth (+19.3%) and strong cash generation (FCF margin 35.5%) are partially offset by moderate revenue growth (+5.2%).

Financial Health Rating

SRCE's financial health is supported by solid profitability, including gross margin of 70.3% and operating margin of 34.2%. Liquidity is moderate (3 stars), which helps explain the 4-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

Earnings growth is SRCE's strongest growth driver at +19.3% FY2025 versus FY2024 (solid, 4 stars). Revenue growth (+5.2%, moderate) and free-cash-flow growth (+17.4%, solid) are also constructive, though not equally high across every growth measure.

Ownership

Institutional ownership is 79.9% and approximately 73.7% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 26.57% supports management-shareholder alignment.

Economic Dimensions

Effective Tax Rate: 22.57%

Quantitative Style Profile

SRCE has a high-quality, liquid, relatively low-volatility profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback.
