OBT Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Orange County Bancorp has demonstrated strong financial growth, as evidenced by a $1.30 increase in tangible book value per share (TBVPS) to $18.45, reflecting an 8% sequential rise. The company's capital levels have strengthened due to robust earnings and a successful recent capital raise, indicating a solid financial foundation. Additionally, while nonperforming loans increased to $11.7 million, representing 0.61% of total loans, this ratio remains favorable in comparison to industry peers, further supporting a positive outlook.
Bears say
The efficiency ratio of Orange County Bancorp improved slightly to 57% from 59% in the previous quarter, indicating a minor enhancement in operational efficiency, but the trend remains concerning. Furthermore, the decrease in fee income from 16% to 15% of total revenues suggests a decline in non-interest income, which may negatively affect overall profitability. Lastly, while the loan-to-deposit ratio increased to 84% from 81%, it remains comparatively low, signaling potential weaknesses in the bank's lending operations and utilization of deposits.
