Hancock Whitney: Well Placed For Economic Uncertainty
Like many banks, Hancock Whitney has seen mixed fortunes since my last update mid-November, with its business doing better than expected but the shares struggling. Loan growth was arguably the weak point of first quarter earnings, with management downgrading full-year guidance as well. Economic uncertainty has sent these shares down nearly 20% since my last piece. Based on a number of valuation measures, HWC looks cheap relative to historical marks.

Hancock Whitney Benefits From Excellent Capital Positioning
Hancock Whitney (HWC) has been a solid performer with a 14% gain over the past year, but more recently, there has been a 20% drop from highs. Strong Q1 earnings, disciplined underwriting, and a robust capital position support HWC's stability amid economic uncertainty and slower loan growth. HWC's strategic expansions and acquisitions, particularly in the Sun Belt, are poised to enhance long-term growth despite current macroeconomic challenges.
