Is Community Bancorp (NASDAQ:CMTV) a buy in 2026?
Hold. Community Bancorp is a wait-and-watch at today's price, not a fresh buy.
A 175-year-old Vermont bank compounding at 16% ROE, but the easy money has been made near 52-week highs.
Where CMTV is headed
Community Bancorp is the kind of business that gets overlooked precisely because nothing about it demands attention. Founded in 1851 in Derby, Vermont, it lends to dairy farms, ski lodges, hardware stores, town councils and the local Rotary Club. By 2028, this looks like a $280M-$320M market cap bank still doing what it did in 1958, 1988 and 2018: taking cheap northern Vermont deposits, making conservative loans against real assets, and paying out a steadily rising dividend. Book value compounds in the mid-single digits, EPS grinds toward $4.00, and the shares trade somewhere between 1.8x and 2.2x book.
