The case for and against

Updated Oct 19, 2025

Bull case

Coastal Financial Corp is positioned for significant growth in its Banking as a Service (BaaS) segment, with expectations to onboard 7-10 new programs this year, leveraging a robust balance sheet and an expanding partner pipeline. As demonstrated by a 58% increase in CCBX deposits and a 197% increase in loans (excluding sale activity), the underlying growth metrics indicate strong operational momentum within the CCBX segment. Additionally, the total credit card accounts have risen to 551K, further reinforcing the company's expanding customer base and financial performance prospects.

Bear case

Coastal Financial Corp's core efficiency ex-indemnifications ratio is projected to decline from 75.8% in the current quarter to 54.8% by the end of 2026, indicating a concerning trend in operational efficiency as major programs are expected to achieve scaling revenue but will require significant investment. Additionally, the company faces several risk factors, including potential deposit outflows that could lead to a reduced balance sheet, lower-than-expected cash deployment, decreased loan balances, and a slower timeline for fintech-related income, all of which could adversely impact earnings. The need for elevated investment spending in the near term has necessitated downward revisions in 2025 and 2026 earnings estimates, raising concerns about the sustainability of program growth without compromising financial performance.
