Upturn Advisory & Investor View for THFF

10/28/2026: THFF (3-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

First Financial Corporation is a regional bank holding company providing traditional banking and wealth management services in the Midwest. Its strengths include a conservative approach to lending and a stable, loyal customer base that supports long-term consistency. The primary growth opportunity lies in enhancing digital banking capabilities and selectively expanding its regional footprint. Risks include geographic concentration in the Midwest and intense industry competition for deposits, which can impact profitability during interest rate shifts. The company may suit value and dividend-focused investors seeking steady income, though stakeholders should monitor regional economic health and deposit costs as key developments.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

★★★★★
THFF 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.

Company Fundamentals

★★★★★
THFF has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with solid financial health, solid growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, strong earnings growth (+67.5%) and strong cash generation (FCF margin 26.5%) are partially offset by moderate revenue growth (+6.2%), modest insider ownership of 3.73%.

Financial Health Rating

★★★★★
THFF's financial health is supported by solid profitability, including gross margin of 77.7% and operating margin of 30.4%. Liquidity is moderate (3 stars), which helps explain the 4-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

★★★★★
Earnings growth is THFF's strongest growth driver at +67.5% FY2025 versus FY2024 (strong, 5 stars). By comparison, free-cash-flow growth (+59.3%, strong) is also strong, while revenue growth (+6.2%, moderate) holds the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

★★★★★
Institutional ownership is 63.2% and approximately 95.0% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 3.73% provides only moderate management-shareholder alignment.

BlackRock Inc 13.85%
Dimensional Fund Advisors, Inc. 6.02%
First Financial Corp 5.31%
State Street Corp 4.37%
Vanguard Capital Management, LLC 4.12%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

★★★★★
THFF generates approximately $777 of gross profit, $304 of operating income, and $265 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: 20.28%

Quantitative Style Profile

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