AI Summary

6.0

COLB is now best viewed as a post-acquisition execution story: Pacific Premier integration could unlock meaningful upside if cost synergies, deposit retention, and credit quality hold, but any slippage would quickly pressure capital, margins, and the stock until management proves the larger balance sheet can be absorbed cleanly.

Acquisition
