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

There is still some uncertainty related to hurricane devastation as some loans are still on deferral. Therefore, the portfolio's credit risk is moderately high. The recent asset mix improvement will likely support the margin, while interest rate cuts will likely squeeze the margin. In line with the historical trend, loan growth will likely remain low this year unless Home Bancshares announces an M&A transaction.
