Merchants Bancorp (MBIN) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Merchants Bancorp demonstrated solid financial performance, with tangible book value (TBV) increasing by 3% quarter-over-quarter to $36.31 and a reported return on assets (ROA) and return on tangible common equity (ROTCE) of 0.94% and 10.6%, respectively. The company's deposits experienced significant growth, with an overall increase of 18% quarter-over-quarter, driven by robust gains in interest-bearing demand deposits (IB DDAs) and non-interest-bearing (NIB) accounts. Additionally, end-of-period loans held for investment (EOP loans HFI) were up 4% linked-quarter annualized, indicating strong loan growth that outpaced consensus estimates, further reflecting the company's effective market positioning and resilience in various lending sectors.
Bears say
Merchants Bancorp's financial performance shows signs of weakening, with a decline in both profitability and net interest margin (NIM), which fell 6 basis points quarter-over-quarter to 2.83% and further decreased to 2.82% in the subsequent quarter. Although net interest income (NII) grew to $128.7 million in the second quarter, it remained 1%-2% below expectations, and a subsequent decline to $128.1 million in the third quarter highlighted operational challenges. Additionally, a decrease in tangible common equity and return on tangible common equity, coupled with lower average earning assets, raises concerns about the company's ability to sustain growth, ultimately contributing to a negative outlook for its stock.
