Southern Missouri Bancorp, Inc. (SMBC) Economic Moat Analysis (2026)

Invetso Score: 5.8/10 — Balanced · Last Updated: 2026-08-01

Overall Score

Profitability Returns

ROIC remains solid at 11.7% and ROCE at 11.1%, indicating decent capital efficiency.

ROE is 12.5%, but asset returns remain modest with ROA at 1.4% and operating ROA at 1.7%.

Gross margin is strong at 61.7% and operating margin is 28.7%, supporting a reasonable moat profile.

Balance Sheet Strength

Leverage is manageable with debt-to-equity at 0.25 and net debt to EBITDA at 0.59.

Liquidity is adequate but not strong, with a current ratio of 1.10 and cash ratio of 0.02.

Interest coverage is weak at 0.76x, which limits financial flexibility despite low absolute leverage.

Cash Flow Quality

Free cash flow yield is healthy at 10.6% and FCF conversion is strong, with FCF/OCF at 95.8%.

Operating cash flow margin is 30.3%, supporting solid cash generation.

However, the cash conversion cycle is extremely long at 5,118 days, driven by very weak receivables turnover.

Valuation Support

The stock trades at 11.9x earnings and 9.4x free cash flow, which is not demanding.

Price-to-book of 1.43x is reasonable relative to the company’s profitability.

Valuation looks fair rather than deeply discounted, so it supports but does not strengthen the moat case.
