Although the revenue and EPS for Merchants Bancorp (MBIN) give a sense of how its business performed in the quarter ended June 2025, it might be worth considering how some key metrics compare with Wall Street estimates and the year-ago numbers.

Merchants Bancorp (MBIN) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.6 per share, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.12 per share. This compares to earnings of $1.49 per share a year ago.

Second quarter 2025 net income of $38.0 million, decreased $38.4 million compared to second quarter of 2024 and decreased $20.3 million compared to the first quarter 2025, reflecting an increase in provision for credit losses of $43.1 million and $45.3 million, respectively. An increase in provision for credit losses was primarily associated with estimated declines on multi-family property values after receiving new appraisals and the ongoing investigation of borrowers involved in mortgage fraud or suspected fraud.

I'm downgrading MBIN common shares to Hold due to deteriorating loan performance impacting earnings outlook. Net interest income dropped for the first time in three years, signaling lower rates may not benefit Merchants Bancorp's financial results. Loan growth has stalled while deposits remain volatile, pushing the loan-to-deposit ratio to uncomfortable levels and increasing reliance on costly external financing.
