Merchants Bancorp (MBIN) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Merchants Bancorp demonstrated solid financial health with a 5% increase in core deposits quarter-over-quarter and significant growth in tangible book value per share, rising to $34.15, indicating strong profitability reflected by a return on assets of 1.8% and a return on tangible common equity of 21.6%. The company's loan loss provisions (LLP) coverage ratio remains robust at 1.5x, positioning it to manage potential increases in non-performing loans while maintaining an allowance for credit losses that is projected to reach 0.94% by the fourth quarter of 2026. Moreover, positive adjustments in core fee income growth outlook and an anticipated slight increase in dividends further illustrate the company's commitment to shareholder returns and its successful operational strategies, pointing towards a favorable long-term outlook.
Bears say
The analysis reveals key negative indicators for Merchants Bancorp's stock, primarily highlighted by a 2% sequential decline in average loans, which aligns with forecasts but underscores stagnant loan growth. Additionally, significant reductions in end-of-period (EOP) deposits by 8% quarter-over-quarter, driven by an 18% drop in certificates of deposit (CDs), suggest strategic challenges in maintaining deposit levels and mitigating reliance on brokered instruments. Furthermore, the projection of slight net interest margin (NIM) compression in the first half of 2025, combined with negative credit migration related to underperforming loans linked to sponsors, indicates potential pressure on profitability and overall financial stability.
