The earnings call reveals declining earnings and net interest income, with a projected decrease in net interest margin. Despite a slight improvement in criticized loans, the absence of TEA-related gains negatively impacts non-interest income. The Q&A section highlights uncertainties in stock buybacks and a lack of detailed guidance on NIM. The company's cautious capital management approach and flat balance sheet outlook suggest limited growth potential. Overall, these factors contribute to a negative sentiment, likely leading to a stock price decline of -2% to -8% over the next two weeks.
