Banc of California: Improving Funding Mix Makes 2025 Promising
Summary Banc of California stock remains a buy due to its TBV being below historical averages and potential for profitability expansion through reduced deposit costs. Despite dividend weaknesses, the bank shows potential for capital gains, with a fair value estimate suggesting a 24% upside.

Long-term core earnings growth should grow at 5-6%, driving a fair value above $15, and the shares also appear undervalued on ROTCE-driven P/TBV, with a potential fair value of $18.50-$20.
