Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 87 days.
The thesis — published October 26, 2025
This regional bank is showing healthier results. Profit per share rose 28% compared to last year, helped by the Bremer deal and more fee income. One cost metric was weaker than hoped, but investor mood is positive and interest rates look steady, which supports lending. As merger savings build and price swings calm, the next few months could bring a reasonable, steady return for a portfolio that needs more than just tech names.
Primary drivers
- Profit per share rose 28% compared to last year in the third quarter
- Merging with Bremer and growing fees are boosting steady income
- Investor mood is upbeat and interest rates look steady for now
- Regional banks gain when investors feel comfortable taking more risk
