Sales Growth

From lending activities to service fees, most banks build their revenue model around two income sources. Interest rate spreads between loans and deposits create the first stream, with the second coming from charges on everything from basic bank accounts to complex investment banking transactions. Regrettably, Camden National Bank’s revenue grew at a sluggish 5.4% compounded annual growth rate over the last five years. This was below our standard for the banking sector and is a poor baseline for our analysis.

We at StockStory place the most emphasis on long-term growth, but within financials, a half-decade historical view may miss recent interest rate changes, market returns, and industry trends. Camden National Bank’s annualized revenue growth of 17.1% over the last two years is above its five-year trend, suggesting its demand recently accelerated.

This quarter, Camden National Bank reported magnificent year-on-year revenue growth of 45.6%, and its $65.74 million of revenue beat Wall Street’s estimates by 4.6%.

Net interest income made up 76.7% of the company’s total revenue during the last five years, meaning lending operations are Camden National Bank’s largest source of revenue.

While banks generate revenue from multiple sources, investors view net interest income as the cornerstone - its predictable, recurring characteristics stand in sharp contrast to the volatility of non-interest income.

Tangible Book Value Per Share (TBVPS)

Banks profit by intermediating between depositors and borrowers, making them fundamentally balance sheet-driven enterprises. Market participants emphasize balance sheet quality and sustained book value growth when evaluating these institutions.

Because of this, tangible book value per share (TBVPS) emerges as the critical performance benchmark. By excluding intangible assets with uncertain liquidation values, this metric captures real, liquid net worth per share. Other (and more commonly known) per-share metrics like EPS can sometimes be murky due to M&A or accounting rules allowing for loan losses to be spread out.

Camden National Bank’s TBVPS was flat over the last five years. However, TBVPS growth has accelerated recently, growing by 6.1% annually over the last two years from $25.24 to $28.42 per share.

Over the next 12 months, Consensus estimates call for Camden National Bank’s TBVPS to grow by 14.9% to $32.66, decent growth rate.
