Columbia Banking: Valuation Gap Is Too Large, But Weaker Relative Growth Remains A Challenge
COLB
Published: March 13, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha

Near-term growth is likely to be modest, with low-single-digit pre-provision profit growth in FY'25 and FY'26 due to limited spread leverage and modest loan growth. Columbia's high-quality, low-cost deposit base and ongoing restructuring of the loan book offer long-term potential, despite contributing to near-term growth headwinds.
