Merchants Bancorp (MBIN) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Merchants Bancorp has demonstrated solid fundamentals, with a tangible book value growth of 3% quarter-over-quarter and a tangible common equity ratio increase of 12 basis points, reflecting its strong profitability, showcased by reported ROA and ROTCE of 0.94% and 10.6% respectively in the third quarter. The company also experienced significant growth in deposits, with an 18% increase quarter-over-quarter, driven by broad-based gains across demand deposit accounts and non-interest bearing deposits, further enhancing its liquidity position. Additionally, the growth in loans held for investment, up 4% quarter-over-quarter, alongside market share gains in the mortgage warehouse segment, positions Merchants Bancorp favorably for continued performance, especially in a potentially conducive interest rate environment.
Bears say
Merchants Bancorp's financial performance shows concerning trends, with a decline in profitability reflected in the decreasing return on assets (0.52%) and return on tangible common equity (6.0%) in the second quarter, alongside a drop in tangible common equity (3 bps) despite balanced sheet growth. Net interest income (NII) fell slightly by 1% in the most recent quarter, which was 2% below consensus expectations, compounded by a narrowing net interest margin (NIM) that decreased to 2.82%. Additionally, while non-performing assets (NPAs) decreased by 12% due to improved asset quality, the underlying decline in average earning assets (AEAs) raises concerns about the sustainability of revenue generation in the future.
