Given the volatility in publicly-traded bank stocks, many banks would benefit from obtaining a mid-year 2021 stock valuation to ensure an accurate assessment rather than rely on a valuation at prior year-end. Please contact us if we can be of service to you in any way during this transitional time.
If you have any questions or comments about today’s M&A market or would like to discuss various strategies for your institution including opportunities to issue low cost debt or raise new equity, we would enjoy the opportunity to speak with you.
