Actionable Trading Ideas for Bank Investors
The banking industry faces once-in-a-generation challenges. During the period from 2008-2010, over 300 banks and thrifts with over $750 billion in assets went out of business and the industry earned a cumulative 2% return on equity. Even today, ROEs are below 8% and efficiency ratios continue to climb.
While the worst of the credit losses have passed, Invictus believes that a substantial number of banks remain at risk of closure, and many more will be unable to generate acceptable returns. Loan origination volumes and spreads are are in decline with only the strongest banks able to compete. Regulatory costs and pressures are high and getting higher. There are no easy answers, and bank executives are struggling for solutions.
Using our patent-pending ICAM™ and LoanLayering™ models, insights gleaned from our network of commercial bank and bank regulator clients and our many years of banking experience, every quarter we analyze the call reports of every FDIC-insured depository. Our public data model produces easy to use and understand forward-looking assessments of:
- Capital adequacy
- Earnings
- Dividend stability
- Loan quality
- Provisioning adequacy
- And multiple other metrics
Invictus also generates custom reports to client specifications, with Invictus Investor. We will run our models with your input assumptions, and to your defined output. This information advantage results in actionable trading ideas and investment decisions. Some possibilities are:
- Single-bank capital/strategic analysis
- Alerts
- Screening/sorting against client-specified criteria
- Modelling partial/full database with client-specified assumptions
- Customized indices
- Assist acquirers with valuation/loss-sharing agreements
