Metropolitan Bank Holding Corp. down only -23% today!

Submitted by mebinici t3_1274g0l in wallstreetbets

With so much going on today and bank runs still happening, I'd be cautious! Their CEO retired and sold a bunch or shares...

The Company and Bank remain well capitalized across all measures of regulatory capital, with a total risk-based capital of 13.4% and 13.1%, respectively, at December 31, 2022, well above regulatory minimums.

As of March 29, 2023:

Total core deposit verticals were $5.04 billion compared with $4.78 billion as of December 31, 2022, an increase of 5.4%.

Insured deposits account for 66% of total deposits, up from 60% at December 31, 2022.

Liquidity remains strong. Cash on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and readily accessible secured funding capacity totaled $3.1 billion, which is 170% of uninsured deposit balances.

Our previously announced exit from the crypto vertical, not included in total core deposit verticals above, is almost complete, with crypto-related deposits currently accounting for 4% of total deposits and as anticipated is expected to be near zero by the end of the second quarter of 2023.

Asset quality remains strong. The commercial real estate ("CRE") portfolio, which includes owner-occupied CRE, is broadly diversified by property type, with offices accounting for only 10% of the portfolio, and the 61% average loan-to-value ratio of the portfolio significantly mitigates credit risk.

Thoughts?

Not just the CEO. Multiple company officers sold all their stake and bounced.

You have it wrong. This thing is going to zero, or more likely bought out. The bounce is temporary, but lucrative if you bought calls before close (which I did).

A bank with increasing deposits and stable loans is going to zero? Okay buddy.

He updated that he was wrong himself. Look at an actual source not a single inaccurate day of webull you child.

The whole take might be wrong, but that's why you straddle with high volatility.

I'm sure more research will come to light tomorrow and a clear view of the bank's situation will emerge.

For now, I think going with "where there's smoke, there's fire" is the right call.

FYI: I never saw the article. Several posts with the bank's balance sheet were made in other subs I follow.
