Independent Bank (IBCP) Company Overview

Dividends are one of the best benefits to being a shareholder, but finding a great dividend stock is no easy task. Does Independent Bank (IBCP) have what it takes?

Independent Bank Corporation had a stellar 2024 with a 36% price return, but 2025 looks more challenging with moderate loan growth. Deposits increased to $4.70 billion, with a reduced cost of funds, while the loan portfolio is expected to grow by 5-6% in 2025.
