The company's net interest margin expansion and improving credit quality are positive, but loan shrinkage from real estate payoffs and elevated share repurchases reducing tangible equity (TCE/TA 7.71% vs 8.56% at year-end 2025) warrant monitoring. Watch for loan growth trajectory and whether the indirect consumer portfolio's higher credit allowance weighs on future provisioning.
