Growth comes with its own set of costs, and Iberiabank (IBKC) is paying some of those costs today. Not only is the bank seeing accounting changes to covered loans weigh on reported results, but overhead expenses tied to the expansion of its branch banking and fee-generating operations are also taking a toll.
All told, Iberiabank's stock looks like a mixed bag today. The 1.1x multiple to book value and 1.5x multiple to tangible book value seem rather appealing, but that has to be set next to below-average returns on tangible assets.
