All Rights Reserved. 12 KEY POINTS Analyst must write OVERVIEW Analyst must write Zacks Investment Research Page 2 www.zacks.com INDUSTRY OUTLOOK INDUSTRY OUTLOOK - NEUTRAL Our outlook for the regional banks and thrifts remains neutral. Interest rates will continue to move up, but the pace of future increases from the Federal Reserve is a matter of debate as economic indicators remain mixed. Long-term rates are not moving up in tandem, so increases in the short end will likely create more flattening of the curve as well. Though an increasing rate environment as a rule is not the best scenario for bank stocks, this increase from recent historic lows is most likely favorable (though offset by the flatter curve). A slow, measured increase from here would provide the optimal atmosphere for increasing interest margins and spread revenues. The changing environment implies a changing mix of business for the banks and thrifts. Consumer lending, the bread-and-butter of many regional and local institutions, will face significant headwinds to revenue growth, as the mortgage business has seen record production. Home equity lending may provide some offset, though, as consumers seek to continue drawing value from their residences. Deposit fees are also expected to struggle, as the strong deposit growth of recent periods is likely to slow as depositors seek higher returns in a rising-rate environment. Commercial and industrial lending (C&I) seems to have bottomed, and increasing demand is on the way. The small- and mid-cap banks will be more challenged to show earnings growth in this environment. C&I improvement will only partially offset slowing consumer demand for many, as mortgage business has been a significant portion of their business during the boom. Most have less exposure to marketsensitive businesses, such as capital markets and asset management, and generally less exposure to C&I lending than the average large-cap bank. Credit quality has generally improved, and reduced provisioning has provided a boost for some, though this will be less of a factor going forward. Even those with improving fundamentals will face investor sentiment issues, as rising rates sometimes coincide with falling bank stock prices. The strongest institutions might see share prices rise from here, along with the weakest (more likely take-out candidates), but the majority will struggle.
