Outlook / Guidance
Merchants Bancorp’s management highlighted continued strength across businesses, with assets and tangible book value per share reaching new highs. Credit trends improved with a decline in criticized loans, nonperforming loans, delinquencies, and provision for credit losses. The diversified business model is expected to support earnings in the current rate environment, with robust loan pipelines converting to permanent loans over time and higher rates supporting servicing rights and derivatives valuations.
