Raymond James maintains Outperform on Bancorp shares

Friday - The Bancorp , Inc. (NASDAQ:TBBK) has recently amended a purchase agreement related to a foreclosed apartment property, prompting Raymond (NS:RYMD) James to reiterate its Outperform rating on the company's stock. The amendment extends the property's closing deadline to March 21, 2025, offering more time for its inclusion in a larger transaction that is currently under consideration.

The Bancorp management is optimistic that the eventual sale price will cover the property's outstanding balances and estimated improvement costs. The property in question, as of December 19, 2024, had a balance of $41.1 million and constituted a significant portion of the company's Other Real Estate Owned (OREO). This extension is seen as a strategic move to enhance the value of the deal.

In addition to extending the deadline, the buyer has increased the earnest money deposit to $1.6 million, up from the initial $500,000. This deposit is set to be accrued to The Bancorp if the sale does not go through, providing an additional layer of financial security for the company.

The Bancorp's management has also indicated that it is actively engaged in discussions to sell other loans, including those classified as problematic. The aim of these discussions is to streamline the company's loan portfolio and improve its overall financial health.

The reiteration of the Outperform rating by Raymond James reflects confidence in The Bancorp's strategic decisions and its potential for positive financial outcomes. Investors are keeping a close watch on the company's progress with these property and loan sales, as they could have a notable impact on its financial position.
