Current thesis
Strong Q2 earnings growth, rapid loan and deposit expansion, improving non-wholesale funding mix, and well-capitalized ratios support a constructive operating case. Recent director purchases may reinforce sentiment, but they are not evidence of operating results [#SEC-FORM4-2026-07-24].

Confirming evidence

  • Sentiment remains the lead driver in the composite, 7D delta +2.9.

Contradictions & invalidation

  • Credit deterioration following the increase in non-performing loans and provision expense.
  • Further net interest margin compression from rapid balance-sheet expansion or higher deposit costs.
  • Rapid balance-sheet growth is diluting margin, funding costs and expenses increased, provision expense rose, and non-performing loans moved higher.
