OFG Bancorp has been upgraded to a soft 'buy' rating due to improvements in asset quality and earnings, despite earlier concerns about credit risks. The stock trades at a price-to-earnings ratio of 9.6, below its peers and the preferred 10x threshold, supported by strong returns on assets (1.93%) and equity (16.76%). Non-performing assets and non-accrual loans have decreased significantly, indicating better credit quality, although rising auto loan delinquencies and high uninsured deposit exposure (52.1%) remain risks.
