WEAK BUY 15% confidence · analysed Aug 26, 2026
This analysis is from Aug 26, 2026 and may be out of date.
On Aug 26, 2026, our model rated First BanCorp. New (FBP) WEAK BUY with 15% confidence at a price of $28.18. That means the signals lean positive, but they are mixed, so conviction is low.
Technical picture
The 14-day RSI is 39. Momentum is soft: below the neutral 50 line, but not yet oversold.
MACD is below its signal line, so short-term momentum is pointing down.
The price is above both its 50-day and 200-day moving averages, the classic picture of an uptrend.
Volume is only 0.1x its 20-day average; light trading makes the latest move less convincing.
Fundamentals
The PEG ratio is 4.15, which looks expensive relative to its growth.
The company reports a profit margin of 39.0% and revenue growth of +9.4%.
In its latest quarter it earned $0.62 per share, which beat the $0.54 analysts expected, with revenue +7.3% year over year.
The next earnings report is expected around Oct 22, 2026; prices often move sharply around earnings.
Trade plan from the model
The model's long / bullish plan uses an entry near $28.24, a target of $28.82 (+2.1%) and a stop-loss at $27.32 (-3.3%).
That is a reward-to-risk ratio of about 0.6 to 1: the potential loss is bigger than the gain, a weak setup.
The plan has a time limit: reassess by Sep 5, 2026 whatever the price does.
