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 return on average tangible common equity (ROTCE) of 10.6% in the third quarter. The company's diverse business segments achieved broad-based growth, highlighted by an 18% increase in certificates of deposit and brokered funds, alongside a 4% rise in end-of-period loans held for investment, surpassing consensus expectations. The bank's unique focus on FHA multi-family housing and healthcare financing helps mitigate interest rate risks, positioning it favorably for future growth and market share enhancement in the mortgage warehousing sector.
Bears say
Merchants Bancorp experienced a decline in profitability, as evidenced by a return on assets (ROA) of only 0.52% and a return on tangible common equity (ROTCE) of 6.0% in the second quarter, indicating challenges in effectively generating returns. The net interest income (NII) metrics were disappointing, with the most recent figure of $128.1 million falling 1% quarter-over-quarter and 2% below consensus expectations, driven by a narrowing net interest margin (NIM) of 2.82%. Additionally, while non-performing assets (NPAs) saw a reduction, the overall declines in average earning assets (AEAs) alongside stagnant NIM raise concerns about the bank's capacity for growth in its key segments moving forward.
