Medium-term directional permission stays bullish under the advancing Stage, but immediate execution should be deferred—favor stalking pullbacks into the rising EMA support zone near recent breakout levels.

Transcript signals

Bull points

  • In the first quarter of 2026, we completed the redesign of our banking organization, which was a major step forward in the ongoing strategic focus on full relationship banking. This, along with the expansion of our teams in key markets such as Colorado, it's translating into an increase in production as we move into the second quarter.
  • As we focus our capital investment in 2025, we initiated a share repurchase authorization and have purchased about 6 million shares since announcing the program last August. We continue to see value in share buybacks and are in a position to return capital as well as grow organically.
  • We are pleased with the underlying momentum in the business, and we anticipate meaningful improvement to our return profile as we move forward.

Bear points

  • We experienced a modest increase in non-performing loans that was driven by one individual credit.
  • Net interest income decreased by $5.7 million compared to the prior quarter, or 2.8%, to $200.7 million. This was driven primarily by fewer accrual days in the first quarter compared to the fourth quarter, a reduction in earning assets due mostly to seasonally lowered deposits, and a reduction in the yield on earning assets due to fourth quarter rate movement.
  • Non-interest income was $41.1 million a decrease of $65.5 million from the prior quarter.
