Session TitleIndustry and M&A Update

SpeakerJohn Adams, Principal & Head of Investment Banking, Sheshunoff & Co. Investment Banking

Session Description:

As interest rates experience a long-awaited upward push, anticipation of higher interest income is balanced by the market’s concerns over recessionary pressures, softening loan demand and possible asset quality weakness.  We will study the trends in recent bank performance and pricing for both bank stocks and M&A transactions in an effort to identify areas where concern is merited and where it may be premature or even unwarranted.

In this session we will:

    • Evaluate community bank financial trends
    • Examine publicly-traded bank stocks and the likely implications for M&A pricing and activity
    • Study various factors that impact bank profits and shareholder value
    • Discuss the outlook for bank M&A from the perspective of both buyers and sellers
