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.
The earnings call reveals several concerns: decreased non-interest income, increased expenses, and decreased deposit balances. Despite selective loan growth and reduced criticized loans, the securities restructuring led to a loss, and the NIM is expected to remain flat. The Q&A highlighted uncertainties in NIM and market conditions, with limited M&A opportunities. Although buybacks are considered, these factors suggest a negative sentiment, likely leading to a stock price decline in the range of -2% to -8%.
