Two Positive Attributes:
1. Skyrocketing Revenue Shows Strong Momentum
We at StockStory place the most emphasis on long-term growth, but within financials, a stretched historical view may miss recent interest rate changes, market returns, and industry trends. ServisFirst Bancshares’s annualized revenue growth of 14.2% over the last two years is above its five-year trend, suggesting its demand recently accelerated. 
Note: Quarters not shown were determined to be outliers, impacted by outsized investment gains/losses that are not indicative of the recurring fundamentals of the business.
2. Steady Increase in TBVPS Highlights Solid Asset Growth
We consider tangible book value per share (TBVPS) the most important metric to track for banks. TBVPS represents the real, liquid net worth per share of a bank, excluding intangible assets that have debatable value upon liquidation.
ServisFirst Bancshares’s TBVPS increased by 13.1% annually over the last five years, and the past two years show a similar trajectory as TBVPS grew at a solid 13.3% annual clip (from $26.19 to $33.62 per share).
One Reason to be Careful:
Net Interest Income Points to Soft Demand
While bank generate revenue from multiple sources, investors view net interest income as a cornerstone - its predictable, recurring characteristics stand in sharp contrast to the volatility of one-time fees.
ServisFirst Bancshares’s net interest income has grown at a 9.6% annualized rate over the last five years, slightly worse than the broader banking industry and in line with its total revenue.
Final Judgment
ServisFirst Bancshares’s positive characteristics outweigh the negatives. With the recent decline, the stock trades at 1.9× forward P/B (or $73.11 per share). Is now a good time to initiate a position? See for yourself in our comprehensive research report, it’s free.
