Description: FBP First Bancorp January 12, 2026
First Bancorp (NYSE:FBP) is the holding company for FirstBank Puerto Rico, delivering a full suite of banking products to both consumer and commercial clients across six operating segments: Mortgage Banking; Consumer (Retail) Banking; Commercial & Corporate Banking; Treasury & Investments; United States Operations; and Virgin Islands Operations. The Mortgage Banking unit originates, sells, and services residential mortgages while also managing hedging and loan-purchase activities. Consumer Banking offers auto loans, personal loans, credit cards, and deposit accounts, whereas Commercial & Corporate Banking focuses on commercial real-estate, construction financing, and cash-management services. Treasury & Investments runs the fund-management business, and the U.S. and Virgin Islands segments extend checking, savings, CD, and loan products to those markets, complemented by ancillary insurance agency services.
As of the most recent quarter, First Bancorp reported total assets of roughly **$13 billion**, a **net interest margin (NIM) of 3.2%**, and a **loan-to-deposit ratio near 78%**, indicating a balanced funding structure. The bank’s **non-performing loan (NPL) ratio** stood at **1.1%**, well below the regional-bank average of ~2.0%, suggesting relatively low credit stress. Deposit growth in the U.S. operations has accelerated at **≈5% YoY**, driven by higher consumer savings rates following the recent Fed rate hikes.
Key economic drivers for First Bancorp include the **U.S. interest-rate environment**, which directly influences NIM and mortgage-originations, and the **post-hurricane recovery trajectory in Puerto Rico**, where infrastructure rebuilding fuels demand for commercial-real-estate and construction loans. Additionally, **regional migration trends**-both inbound from the mainland U.S. and outbound from Puerto Rico-affect retail-deposit volumes and loan demand across its island and U.S. segments.
