Is Greene County Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ:GCBC) a buy in 2026?
Yes, on balance. The Compass leans toward accumulating Greene County Bancorp, Inc. at current levels.
A 137-year-old Catskills thrift that out-earns most US banks, trading at book-plus-change because nobody covers it.
Where GCBC is headed
Greene County Bancorp is the kind of business that gets ignored precisely because it works. A mutual holding company structure based in Catskill, New York, 23% revenue growth on a community bank base, 45% net margin, 15.7% return on equity, and a 0.44 beta. Most regional banks would trade a kidney for those numbers right now. Yet GCBC sits at 1.9x book and 13x earnings with zero sell-side coverage and a 0.9% short interest that tells you nobody is even bothering to bet against it.
