Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 89 days.
The thesis — published August 15, 2025
Shares have fallen recently but the longer trend is still up, and signs point to a possible turn higher soon. Profits per share beat expectations and the bank confirmed preferred dividends, which helps mood. A firm hold above the recent average price would boost confidence. Over the next 1-3 months, a steady drift back toward typical levels is possible if buying picks up, though loan quality trends and regulatory costs remain key risks.
Primary drivers
- Price looks washed out after a dip, while the bigger trend remains upward
- Better-than-expected profit per share improved investor confidence
- Preferred dividends were confirmed, signaling steady capital returns
- We need signs that buying pressure is steadying before expecting gains
