Analysts are looking for double-digit growth from our first idea—a bank in the Ozarks. Our second recommendation is a sale of a drug company.
Buy: Southern Missouri Bancorp (SMBC)
From Positive Patterns
Southern Missouri Bancorp (SMBC) is somewhat/comparable to Great Southern Bancorp Inc. (GSBC), one of our favorite “OZARK” banks. SMBC is an excellent outfit, conservative and very well-run. I would buy SMBC up to the $27 area and be careful, it is lightly-traded.
