Atlantic Union Bankshares Corporation (AUB) has been upgraded to a soft 'buy' due to strong improvements in net interest income, profitability, and asset quality. The company's net profits jumped from $16.8 million to $158 million year-over-year. Despite trading at a slight premium to tangible book value, AUB's forward price-to-earnings ratio of 9.8 and strong returns on assets (1.73%) and equity (12.6%) make it an attractive investment. Rising interest rates are expected to further boost AUB's net interest income, with upcoming earnings likely to continue this positive trend.
