Under the terms of the proposed transaction, shareholders of Guaranty will receive 1.0000 share of Glacier stock (subject to adjustment under certain circumstances) for each share of Guaranty that they own. KSF is seeking to determine whether this consideration and the process that led to it are adequate, or whether the consideration undervalues the Company.

Glacier Bancorp has rebounded with strong deposit and loan growth, but shares remain expensive versus peers and asset quality is below my preferred thresholds. Recent acquisitions in Idaho and Texas expand the bank's footprint and offer strategic growth opportunities, especially in high-growth Southwestern markets. Despite improved earnings and potential cost synergies from acquisitions, valuation and subpar returns on assets and equity keep me cautious.

Glacier Bancorp's earnings growth is highly visible, driven by M&A activity and the gradual roll-off of low-yielding securities. The Guaranty Bancshares acquisition expands GBCI into Texas, diversifies its loan book, and should be immediately accretive to EPS. Despite strong fundamentals and improving margins, GBCI trades at a significant premium (about 20x forward earnings), already reflecting expected growth.
