LKFN
Lakeland Financial Corporation (LKFN) 10Y Growth Potential Analysis (2026)
Overall Score
Profitability
Strong current margins with gross margin at 64.1%, EBIT margin at 31.8%, and net margin at 26.0%.
Return on equity is solid at 14.7%, but return on assets and return on invested capital remain modest at 1.5% and 1.5%.
Growth
No fresh revenue growth data or news was provided this month, so the growth outlook is unchanged.
The business still appears capable of steady compounding, but there is no new evidence of an acceleration in demand or earnings power.
Financial Health
Balance sheet leverage remains very low, with net debt to EBITDA at 0.04x and debt to capital at 8.3%.
Liquidity is adequate with a current ratio of 1.39 and cash ratio of 0.92, supporting ongoing stability.
Valuation
Valuation is reasonable rather than cheap, with P/E at 14.3x, P/B at 2.0x, and EV/EBITDA at 11.2x.
Free cash flow yield of 7.1% and earnings yield of 7.1% suggest fair but not compelling long-term upside.
Momentum
No recent news was provided, so there is no new catalyst to improve the momentum picture.
The stock remains dependent on fundamentals rather than a fresh market re-rating or event-driven catalyst.
