This week's coverage centers on ConnectOne Bancorp's upcoming third quarter results, with the company confirming it will host its conference call on 22 October 2026, releasing results before market open that day. A separate piece highlights the bank's Q2 performance and valuation, noting CNOB trades at a 0.99x price-to-book and 9.2x forward price-to-earnings, with the discount attributed to market caution over commercial real estate exposure, even as the quarter showed a 3.42% net interest margin, a 42.7% efficiency ratio, and growth in deposits and loans.
CNOB closed at $30.16, up 0.7%, sitting between its 50-day average of $31.71 and 200-day average of $29.70. The stock is down 5.2% over the past month and 6.9% over three months, though up 6.9% over six months and 19.7% over the past year. The GekkoIndex reads 64.1, placing the stock in the Accumulation zone. Shares trade 10.8% below the Gekko Fair Value of $33.80.
The next earnings date falls on 22 October 2026, just 10 days away and inside a typical 20-trading-day holding window; the prior quarter produced a -1.9% reaction despite an EPS beat of $0.84 versus $0.83 expected. The company has beaten estimates in 7 of 8 recent quarters, with an average absolute reaction of 3.2%. No insider, Congress, or unusual options activity appears in the respective 90-day and 30-day windows. Seasonality over 5 years shows an average 6.8% move across the next 20 trading days, positive in 4 of those years. Two covering analysts carry buy ratings with a consensus target of $36.75.
