Well-run Southeastern regional bank compounding earnings in the mid-teens with a 10% ROE, trading at a reasonable ~15x — quality at a fair price.

Net income $412M · FY2025

The read

Quality fundamentals and an attractive price line up (~105% below fair value) — the rarer case where both the business and the entry look good.

Ameris Bancorp is a Southeastern US regional bank ($27.5B in assets) with a diversified franchise across community banking, mortgage and specialty lending in fast-growing Sunbelt markets. The bank is executing well: net income rose 14.9% to $412M and diluted EPS grew 15.6% to $6.00, recovering strongly from the FY2023 dip ($269M) and exceeding its FY2021 level. A 10.1% ROE is healthy for a bank of this size, equity grew 8.6% to $4.08B, and retained earnings jumped 19.3% to $2.21B — the bank is building capital while growing earnings.

Capital return is improving: the dividend rose 33.3% to $55.3M and the share count fell 1.7%. Operating cash flow more than doubled to $390M (+153.0%), and the 5.75x liabilities/equity is normal bank leverage. The balance-sheet trajectory is sound, with capital accreting faster than the asset base.
