Fast-growing Southeastern regional bank trading near book value at ~12x earnings, with a big accretive acquisition just bedding in — cheap for the franchise.

Net income $799M · FY2025

The read

Quality fundamentals and an attractive price line up (~199% below fair value) — the rarer case where both the business and the entry look good.

SouthState is a Southeastern US regional bank (Florida, the Carolinas, Texas, Georgia and the Mountain West) that just completed a transformational deal: the January 2025 acquisition of Texas-based Independent added 92 branches and drove total assets up 44.9% to $67.2B, with stockholders' equity rising 53.8% to $9.06B. The franchise spans community banking plus a correspondent-banking/capital-markets division, broker-dealer, RIA and a transportation-factoring business — a diversified, deposit-funded model. The bank also executed a sale-leaseback of branch properties with Blue Owl, monetizing real estate.

The earnings power is real and the price is undemanding. Net income jumped 49.3% to $799M and diluted EPS rose to $7.87 (+12.9% per share after the deal-related share issuance), continuing a steady climb from $6.71 in FY2021. Management is returning capital aggressively post-deal: dividends up 42.0% to $231M and buybacks of $236M, while shrinking the share count 3.3%. Per the 10-K's own table, the stock trades around 12x earnings and roughly 1.03x book value — cheap relative to its own five-year history (1.14x-1.29x) and to the quality of a growing Sunbelt deposit franchise.
