Highlights

I can only tease this for non-subscribers given the size of the bank and relatively low liquidity (I may release the post at a later date).

  • Offering will take some chips off the table for the founding family but still leave 47% insider ownership post-sale.

  • Valuation is fair at 1.18x June 30, 2026 book value

  • Five-year average ROA: 1.31%

  • Five-year average ROE: 15.0%

  • Net charge-offs average -0.02% since 2018 (meaning small net recoveries)

  • 90% of loan book in CRE with concentration in multi-family

  • Average LTV of 39%

  • Tangible book value per share CAGR of 13.7% over 10 years

Disclosure: No position as of this writing.


Drumroll…
